"Billionaires like Zuckerberg aren’t champions of free expression, they’re opportunists weaponizing the concept of free speech to shield themselves from accountability and cater to an increasingly radicalized, politically motivated base. Their performative policies ultimately undermine the very principles they claim to espouse.
It’s notable that conservatives, who claim to champion free speech, have been at the forefront of efforts to restrict it."
I think we should reconcile that #conservatism is dead.
It’s been replaced by reactionaries.
