RT @ggreenwald: 3 hallmarks of ignorance in free speech debates: 1) Claiming that blocking someone on Twitter is inconsistent with free speech advocacy. 2) Conflating controls on what *adults* can say and hear with debates over what *schoolchildren* are taught. 3) “Fire in a crowded theater.”

RT @shrunkenmarcus: @ploughmansfolly In the UK they make you pay for like everything. From dropping people off at the airport to grocery store plastic bags. All sorts of micro transactions and mini taxes. Imagine when they can just scan your iris and plunder you for anything and everything.

RT @justinamash: Spreading information others consider wrong, about matters of public concern, is a feature of free speech, not a bug. The point is that ideas thought to be wrong (or outside conventional discourse) can be heard and evaluated. This is how progress happens.
