@j_r_snook Don't think it's going anywhere though.

@j_r_snook The only true challenge should come from the EU since the US probe is an all-GOP effort led by Bill Barr and I expect it to be a farce, as Karl Bode describes [techdirt.com]

@j_r_snook There's a separate coalition of Dem state AGs are doing their own investigation and it may be stronger than this. But as of right now, I can't see this going anywhere.

Here's Mike Masnick today on how weak the GOP-led DOJ case is. [techdirt.com]

@j_r_snook if you regulate hate speech by law, it applies to any* side. i think that's the idea. that's why I'm for it, it's less arbitrary than when platforms get to decide.

*i say 'any' because there are many sides not only two

@j_r_snook yeah, that's what i mean.
in a democracy, the law should specify the rules, not a handful of CEOs. and since the internet is inherently global, IMHO the UN should decide on the laws. 1/2

@j_r_snook 2/2 of course, this would require the US to compromise on radical free speech.

@j_r_snook i know! ;)
but given the trajectory the US on, sooner or later this will happen i think.

@blumenkraft @j_r_snook If there's a global law in terms of free speech, then we'll be better off instead of efforts to kill it.
