Absolutely GREAT article. I especially loved the survey of free speech vs control of speech going all the way back to the Greeks. Also a minor note about how TikTok (controlled by China) "is limited to 40 minutes a day in China and is focused on educational and patriotic content, while the West receives all the most addictive content without limits."

We really need to get a handle on that app before the problem becomes even worse.
