Good morning, gentlemen.
That poses a special danger to a country that cherishes First Amendment speech, freedom of expression, even freedom of association. I think it's dangerous, frankly, that we don't see more often people espousing the First Amendment view that we should have a robust marketplace of ideas where everybody should be willing and able to participate.
Largely what we're seeing, especially on college campuses, is that if my view is in the majority and I don't agree with your view, then I have the right to shout you down, disrupt your events, or otherwise suppress your ability to get your voice heard.
That's something, I think, that poses a danger to what I call the culture of the First Amendment. The text of the First Amendment is enshrined in our Constitution, but there are certain cultural values that undergird the amendment that are critical for its protections to have actual meaning. If that culture starts to wither away, then so too will the freedom that it supports.
Examiner: Do you believe that those who oppose the culture of the First Amendment are at war against conservative points of view, including censorship on Twitter?
Pai: What I can say is that I would hope whoever the president is, Americans would return to the tradition that we've had of respectful and robust public debate. That's something increasingly becoming rare. I think it's critical that the American public be in the driver's seat when it comes to this issue. No one should have a monopoly on the ability to get a point across.
this guy is great
Nice but he favors allowing corporate censorship
I'll put something up about that hypocrisy today
@Death Strike's Bat Nice.
FWIW I'm torn on public censorship - on one I think firms should be able to discriminate but on the other I don't see it's the State's position to dictate whether they do or not.
No gay cakes, whites only, etc should all be ok - we can sort out the rightness or wrongness of that.. Uncle Scam doesn't need to get in the middle of that shit.
They're not a firm; they're a utility.
And chose not to sell to gays
That would be a problem
Just examples
Strictly on the FCC though - they need to change how the commissioner voting works. It's kind of goofy as is.
Anyway - good read, bud
RESTORE FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION
NET NEUTRALITY IS PROBABLY NOT SOMETHING WE CAN REGULATE
INSTEAD WE NEED SMART CONSUMERS WHO DEMAND AN OPEN, DECENTRALIZED INTERNET
BUT THEY ARE ALL ON FACEBOOK
THUS: TIME FOR INTERNET II
restore competition ^^
there are companies trying to make hardware run on linux today, which is one step towards seriously diversifying OS arena
Tracktion is about to release a piece of software that would run natively on Raspberry Pi, called Tracktion Waveform
I'm sure hardware companies will one day release interfaces that would run on Linux as well
INTERESTING ART
I LIKE THE SACRIFICE
LINUX DOMINATES ALL OF CERTAIN MARKETS
