I am just deleting all the comments now on this one: I realise the irony of being a pro-free speech article that is deleting the comments. I am not the government, wanting to censor everything you can see, hear and say on the internet. I support your free speech to go and post whatever you want - but not all over the comments page here. I run a small Substack and do not want horrible comments all over it pushing the protocols of the elders of zion and other anti-semitic blood libels on here which is what happened. It's pretty dumb. So comments are going.
My view, let people post vile things I say....it reflects on them & nobody else! The best remedy for "bad" speech is more free speech! Let some others rebuke them & they might learn!
Well said Alison!
It's no coincidence that this obvious attack on free speech is so calibrated to the conservative demographic which opposed the MAD bill.
