We need to talk [View all]
You cannot yell fire in a theatre. If a newspaper knowingly prints false information about someone they can be sued for libel.
Yet, on the internet anyone can say whatever they want no matter how damaging or dangerous. Look where this has gotten us. I know there’s no easy answer. Free speech should be imperative . Maybe it’s far too late, but if we should return to a semblance of normality people who are far smarter than I am need to come up with some ideas and implement them.
Throwing up our arms and saying there’s just no way to regulate speech that causes damage is far beyond just being lazy.
Look at where this country, planet is at.
I wish there was a magical answer.I don’t have any great advice. I do know that ignoring it has not been working.
