Thanks for another thought-provoking, fascinating episode, @onthemedia! @Bobosphere, I listened especially carefully to the segment on Twitter, free speech, censorship, etc (it's always a treat when @karaswisher is on).

I wanted to call your attention to a nuance that often gets lost in this discussion, which is that while there is no First Amendment interest in platforms' moderation/censorship policies, there is certainly a free expression interest there.

2/
That is, 1A protection - safeguarding you from state censorship - is the baseline, the floor on free expression. A town with only one radio/TV station, one newspaper and one ISP, all owned by the same family, exercising strict content controls, has a free speech problem.

As US police forces express solidarity with their murderous colleagues by effecting mass arrests of protesters, they have a logistical challenge: how do you cart away all the people you've arrested?



1/
One traditional solution: commandeer a city bus, fill it with prisoners, and have the bus driver take them to the police station for processing.

2/
But this requires the cooperation of bus drivers, and in most cities, the drivers are both racialized and unionized, and that means they don't want to help arrest protesters, and they don't HAVE TO.

People have asked me why I haven't written about Trump's executive order on social media and #CDA230. Here's why.

As everyone who understands the law knows, this will not survive contact with the judiciary. It's unconstitutional and incoherent and just stupid.

1/
It's as if Trump declared up to be down, and then threatened FAA sanctions against anyone caught standing on the ground. This will doubtless inflict pain and chaos, but the first judge that hears the case will tell him to knock it off and stop being an idiot.

2/
The real purpose - tissue thin, totally obvious - is to get us to stop paying attention to white nationalism, pandemic genocide, 101,000 dead, and corruption and start talking about whether up is down.
