What kind of principle is that it without rules?

Free speech doesn’t allow libel and slander. Free assembly doesn’t allow riots. Without a framework for meaningful justice, the high minded principle is just a race to the bottom.

I should be able to have the freedom to choose a platform where I have some protection against the various bad actors out there. Without Apple, the only options we have is non-participation, believing the lies, and arbritration.




> Free speech doesn’t allow libel and slander

What? Very absolutely it does. It just doesn't protect from the consequences.


It's not "without rules". The rules are just democratically determined (i.e. laws).
