It’s almost like the whole point of free speech platforms is simply to enable hate speech and conspiracy theories to circulate unchallenged

@jerry So here is a question for you base don your statement.
Should Free Speech platforms be allowing revenge porn? How about terroristic planning? Maybe other illegal items?
Free speech, like so many things, is a nice idea, but without rules and limitations you literally are in an anarchistic situation where anything goes.
The truth is we as humans have decided the pseudo anonymity afforded by many platforms allow for us to spread hate and conspiracy theories, especially as both have been proven over time to be fantastic ways of manipulating people into doing what we want.
It stinks, but the larger the audience, the more this happens. It is not new, in fact electronically goes back to the days of BBSes.
This i why I identify as a meat popsicle and not human.

I mean, not that I fully agree with the article, but the article clearly speaks about legal content; it doesn't say that illegal things should be allowed.
