    We should just rename every Twitter thread “Bad First Amendment Takes”

    Granted you can dunk on the notion that this is a violation of the first amendment per se. Unfortunately for the left, that does not close the whole conversation.

    I shall continue to dunk

    That's what Sam Harris did when he discussed this issue recently. He's capable of a more nuanced conversation, as I'm sure you are. There are other things about this to discuss beyond whether it is strictly unconstitutional.

    @Horace It's not like I bring it up out of the blue, it's only in response to expressed misunderstandings. And the first few times I did it (including in a response to you) I was very polite about it. But it's getting a little old so I confess some snark comes out.

    Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

      Oh, it was "the algorithm."

      But wait, it didn't happen at all, @jack told us that.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          We will have to wait for Twitter moderation to be mostly right-leaning, to learn from the experts why it’s unconstitutional and an existential threat. Till then there will be nothing to see here.

          Education is extremely important.
