The bigger, much bigger problem is that free speech is always managed speech. A quick stroll around the Internet shows that virtually no one has any truly original political insights, and those that do are more likely to be sidelined than praised.

So where is the freedom in repeating tropes put together by media professionals for cut-and-paste public consumption?

Just $10m a year will buy you an effective social media troll farm or an operation to rival QAnon. It's super-cheap, and - if you're that way inclined - super-effective.

Real free speech wouldn't be battery farmed like this. But it would mean getting rid of any number of giant corporations, so it's unlikely to happen any time soon.
