Frankly I'm just wondering how we let "free speech" become a dogwhistle. Is water in a bottle a dogwhistle because trump drank one one time on video (with two hands, remember that scandal?) Is coffee a dogwhistle because racist people also drink coffee? Not everything is a "dogwhistle" nor should it be considered as such simply because the words "free speech platform" are used instead of "non-censorious communication service." Tipper Gore and her Moral Majority have been fighting free speech since Jello Biafra used an H. R. Geiger painting on a record insert she bought her kid, I've been complaining about censorship since she got "Parental Advisory" slapped on CDs limiting my ability to sneak music past my overbearing mother as a child (mostly seditious music, anto-religious music, or music by POC, mind you, which is racism), I've been bitching about radio beeps and edits since I can remember, free speech has always been a highly regarded value of mine and I'm not going to let those people steal it or their enemies bully me out of supporting it.
