Wait: so your solution to your claimed problem of authority figures having too much power in the speech marketplace is to give authority figures... more power?

How does that work?

I'm not sure how it's supposed to work either, but plenty of authority figures with lots of power in the speech marketplace have been telling me that free speech crackdowns will somehow help the powerless, so I guess I should believe them...
