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

Now, say you’re an ordinary person. You don’t like child porn. You’re not a Nazi. You don’t want to shoot up a school or blow up the White House.
You have the right to say what you want. You do not have the right to use other people’s stuff for free.

We don’t have to guess. We know.
So.
I hate censorship. That is, I think the government has no place controlling what people say, read, express, or create, except insofar as is necessary to prevent things like terroristic threats, dissemination of classified information, fraud, false advertising, and so on.
