Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Worth noting that our Founding Fathers themselves published anonymous satirical newspapers lampooning English politicians, and the Crown responded by trying to kill them.

Some issues are fairly argued as beyond the intent/understanding of the Founders, this ain't one of them.

"I don't regret exactly what I said."

You will.

"I think what I said was fair."

No.
I accepted an invitation to speak at All-In because I wanted to get some truth on the record. After years of lies, personal attacks, and celebrating my firing, Jason Calacanis kept telling people I refused to be on his podcast because of something he said about Oculus. No.
I refused because there is zero upside in rewarding people who spread lies about you. I told Jason so directly the first time he tried to get me on his podcast, right after Anduril hit unicorn status of course. No apology for treating me like shit when it was popular to do so.

Thread

The Taylor Lorenz/Washington Post correction scandal isn't the isolated incident apologists claim. When I was fired, her story said I had announced I was leaving Oculus. This was false - it wasn't my choice nor my announcement. Her only source: Facebook PR. WaPo later
published a story claiming I hid political contributions using shell companies and refused to comment. This was also false - it was a single donation from a regular company, and they didn't reach out to me until 5:54 AM, seven minutes before print. When

I publicly called them out for this, they said the note regarding comment was technically true, and that they would only edit the story if I provided WaPo with detailed financials proving my helicopter business isn't a shell corp. Then they deleted everything with no disclosure.

I recently spent two weeks in federal court successfully defending myself from someone who tried to turn my willingness to help out a fellow (pre-Oculus) VR forum member into a billion-dollar payday. You don't know this because nobody is reporting on the unanimous jury verdict.
For 99.99% of even hardcore VR industry followers, this never happened. Hundreds of stories were written when the lawsuit was filed, dozens more covered minutia of the case as it progressed. The verdict got a single paywalled legal newswire entry.
Not even the tech reporters who were literally sitting in the courtroom as the verdict was read wrote anything. One can only conclude that the media apparatus around this case was only interested in reporting an outcome where Palmer/Facebook/Oculus lose.
