You've hit the nail on the head. All these "free speech absolutists" actually want "gratis reach" not "free speech".


Exactly. And they do not understand that with free speech does not come freedom from consequences.

There are plenty of places with free speech. You can walk outside and start saying some pretty insane stuff right now and people may hate you (consequence) but you are unlikely to have any type of legal consequence.

The social media one gets me the most because even if you do get rid of all moderation it is no secret that there is some algo out there amplifying some voices and not others. And in a way that is just censorship with extra steps.
