Ask Stephen Colbert about the US' vaunted "free speech".
Colbert didn't go to prison, not really a good argument.
There are many ways to suppress speech.
Like axing a show that didn't make money ?
That a poor comparison since on x the moderations is about random citizen and not paid employee doing a work for a company that a the end of the day is free to choose how to spent her money
It did make loads of money though? Why do you get to just push blatant lies?
how much ? cause the cost is high too. anyway
For the same freedom of speech reasons that we're applying to Colbert. That jerkwad is just as entitled to lie as they are to tell the truth, and it's up to everyone else to call them out on it.
Can someone explain why a post in favour of free speech is being downvoted on lemmy ?
Even if that were true, which it isn't, what business does the president have even mentioning it much less making a demand?
