We have the US left suddenly clamoring for free speech after a decade of arguing for restrictions, and the right forgetting all their arguments for the importance of the govt staying out of speech. It's maddening. A lot of folks are so tribal that they don't see the overlap with the "other" side.

One silver lining is that when the US Attorney General said this week that she would go after "hate speech" she got so much push back (I think from within the party) that she retracted/clarified her stance.

My guess is that overt censorship will be struck down by the courts, but it's likely that we'll continue to see creeping control. Seems to be the nature of power.
