He should be allowed to speak.
No one is obliged to listen.
Free agency supersedes speech. How is expecting anyone else to sit still any less fascist?
Common sense changes in time. It was perfectly common sense 13 colonies belonged to England.
It was perfectly common sense God created reality.
John Stuart Mill covered this in his writing about town drunks; cannot stop biology.
Emit whatever syntax sure. Being owed others to bend their agency to listen or act in accordance with the speech is nonsense.
That certainly is American.
We need to protect free speech.
Protecting private power is anti-democratic. Where it suits Facebook they control speech on their platform.
Believing Zuckerberg to be beyond the reach of mortal emotions such as avarice and being willfully ignorant is dangerous.
Technical people can conjure a replacement anytime. Facebook is ultimately just a legal ownership construct.
There are number of solutions available. I use k8s + kilo hosted privately on Rpi sent to friend and family. Look, free software and speech!
SV is has been mesmerizing the world with big data tricks. To be certain, there are very important uses for that in science and engineering.
Most of social media though is nothing special.
I learn more emailing academics than I do ogling Instagram models, and zoning out to COD soldiers on Twitch.
It clearly states more alone time does not necessarily mean they’re lonelier as individuals.
Perhaps as a species this nuclear family model we have to start with should really be giving way in later life to more autonomy?

What makes me sad is the idea there’s objective truth to living in what we know was often an abusive and stifling lifestyle for many many people.
The easy fix: don’t personally seek a holy war where one does not exist. As soon as we start wondering what to do top down, we start focusing on arbitrary correctness and ignore the individual. Cultural “facts” always lose to facts of physical reality. No culture has found that perfect social glue. Maybe it’s a mirage fed to us through historical story, not something that is real?
