  1. "needlessly disrupting his own life". Protecting free speech is needless? Whether you agree or disagree with what he wants to do, you can't shrug it off as if it is a trivial matter that he is just distracting himself with.

  2. You give a long speech in the middle about people specifically using Twitter to get their followers to harass people and all of that. Doxxing too. That's fine and understandable that you'd want those people off the site....so long as it goes both ways. If you were equally riled up when that Democrat made that public speech about seeing Republicans at the restaurant and how you must go up to them and harass them etc, then it's all good. In that specific case there was no reading between the lines needed. No inferring. She was quite explicit. So long as you apply your morals consistently and evenly then even if I disagree, I can respect it. If not then you're just another ideologue.

  3. ""algorithmically amplified speech"" is correct, mostly in that you will only see the bad stuff if you click on it. It's only going to respond to your input so if your input is gardening videos and photoshop tips, then that's what Twitter and YouTube will give you.
