@andypiper @eff Great interview. I agree with Jon Stewart, there is no free speech on corporate social media platforms.

Using Facebook or X is like watching a film produced in North Korea. You just get whatever Zuckerberg or Musk wants you to see. They kick you out for any reason they choose, they throttle popular opinions and push extremist ones instead.

And for that reason, I don't buy the argument that regulating these businesses is censorship. Those platforms *are* censorship..

@andypiper @eff ..the EFF seems to have an American libertarian standpoint here, which seems kind of outdated. It doesn't work.

I can't sue an anonymous user in some random country because they posted something harmful on X. I can't sue Russian trolls. I can't realistically sue meta or x.

Moving to another platform like Mastodon is ok, but that's shifting the burden to users.

@txtx I agree that @eff has a US focus; I'm also a member of @openrightsgroup here in the UK, and support similar causes of citizen rights in the EU as well.

I appreciated the mention of alternatives (Mastodon!) in this interview.
