I’ve had this feeling that since there are forces that do not want us to have free speech, and that the destruction of Reddit and Twitter does this effectively, creating a chilling effect, destroying social links and communities. Might it not be an intentional effort to stifle the ability of the downtrodden to organize and fight the power?
There are so many other ways things are engineered to benefit the minority and prevent the majority from gaining power, why not this too?
Just a thought rattling around in my head.
A well measured response. Thank you. My concerns have been around the benefits that this would have for the far right. Maybe this will make it harder for so many people to stumble towards the far right as well. I suppose I can hope, right?
