this is a perfectly orwellian article: protecting free speech is equated with dismantling it.

the freedom to speak does not imply the right to be heard, and the only entity in society that has any obligation to uphold speech rights is the state - but it is important to recognize that the state is unique, and imperative that we don't attempt to draw parallels between the special obligation that the state has to protect speech and the behaviour of private citizens.

free speech is the right to yell in a crowd, not the right to speak on a stage.
