Celebrating freedom of speech

Although I revile what people wish to say nowadays, I don't believe censorship can lead to anything but tyranny. Frances Haugen's explanation of Facebook's damage shows that the remedy for the harm that Facebook does is not in censoring specific categories of vicious things, such as QAnonsense, anti-vax, hatred and "Biden stole the election", but rather in prohibiting the recommendation algorithm that multiplies and propagates whatever gets the most response. As long as we allow that to continue, it will polarize society with irrationality along new dimensions.
