Nothing is more dangerous to free speech then runaway capitalism and corporate greed. A supporter of free speech should look at the current world and see that the greatest threat is not in the hand of gov't, but in the multinational, internet-deforming nature of corporate control

Imagine looking at the unprecedented control and influence big tech has over speech online and--even if you don't think they're a monopoly--saying that it isn't a problem.

Glad to read a *professor* justifying their position via Milton instead of the pages and pages of detailed, precise and up to date research on this very topic.

Even if you don't agree that monopolistic behavior is present, I'd think that defining a core issue as a lack of responsibility over the information flow big tech chooses to control is reasonable, but he won't even do that.

No one forced these tech companies to become too big to moderate and no one forced them to not even try. They made choices and those choices come w/ responsibilities, when an entity fails in its responsibilities to society, that is exactly where government is supposed to step in.
