First of all great that someone can put their money where their mouth is and purchase Twitter to push it a little more in line with free speech. Congrats! Capitalism still works. Now to the problematic part: are we as a society ready for true free speech in public settings? I fear not. In the turbocharged world of the internet economy where written opinions, pictures, video and sound bites are all expressions and channels for free speech. All fistributed at the speed of light. The first is problem, because while protected under US law i.e. pornography is something I wouldnt want to see in my peraonal daily feed – perfectly fine under free speech. The second problem is, that the internet has accellerated communication. Thinking comes second. In the days when free speech was anchored in our constitution, the public free speech was either slowed down by a minimum og 2 days until something could be written, printed and then distributed in a paper, or the reach was limited, i.e. when speaking at the town square. Now we have no such limitations. Once we’ve amassed a crowd of followers (mostly attracted by witty posts or click bait entertainment) our reach is tremendous and instant. But is it any good? The thinking still happens at the old speed, if it happens at all. Mostly there’s lots of drama and outrage – entertainment of some form. Ppl. Who understand how this works wield the new power over public opinion and our democracy ultimately. Are we ready for the consequences of this turbo free speech? Some things can’t be unseen or unlearned. Thoughtful reflection and discourse is ultimately a victim of missing leevies to slow thought exchange on the fringes of sociatal consensus down. Its unclear what this will do to our society’s norms of tomorrow.
