ericberkowitz4 Is providing the biggest, loudest platforms to the highest bidders conducive to free speech? Money amplifies the “free speech”, no matter how, wrong, misleading or repugnant, of those with the deepest pockets and drowns out all the quieter, often more reasonable voices.

annemcelvoy ericberkowitz4 Hard disagree. I don't think we, as people, need to be tolerant of speech that brings real harm to others. It's not as simple as whether or not you like/agree with it.
annemcelvoy ericberkowitz4 After WWII the Allies took over control of media in Germany to quash the Nazi agenda. Just saying.
