"Freedom of speech, but not reach."
– Founding fathers rolling in their graves

Who said this?
Elon Musk.
Oomph
Though, there is some fairness to that.
You’re allowed to say whatever you want (some caveats), but you’re not free to amplify that message if it doesn’t resonate with others.
Who decides what should be amplified or not? That's just the same danger as censoring.
You ever live in Mexico?
They have those trucks constantly yelling out: “vote for this asshole,” “buy my oranges,” “tacos for sale.”
We don’t have that shit in the states because it’s fucking annoying and we’ve decided those voices shouldn’t be amplified.
Same difference.
Is it really freedom of speech if no one can hear you?
