You have the right to say what you want. You do not have the right to use other people’s stuff for free.

Who is the #1 user of completely free digital communications networks that let you say absolutely anything? Who most wants that?

Because you’re confusing two different things.

If I let you borrow my bike for free, I have the right to tell you you can’t do certain things with it, and I have the right to take it back. Why? Because it’s my property, not yours.

Who is the #2 user of completely free digital communications networks that let you say absolutely anything? Who else wants that?

We don’t have to guess. We know.

Are you going to stay on a social media site that’s all photos of babies being raped, Nazis posting graphic descriptions of finishing what Hitler started, and plans for school shootings?

What does it mean when someone leaves something in your house, your room to be exact, and when you tell them, they say they left it there on purpose?
