Is Jack Dorsey, the head of Twitter, able to circumvent the American Constitution? The answer is yes. We now have government saying you can only believe official information or you can only believe what is the consensus science. Anything else is hate speech that must be suppressed. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and companies such as Amazon seem fully on board with enforcing these sorts of policies. This is a form of totalitarianism - by definition - fascism in development.

Put into the hands of groups of citizens it may turn out to be incredibly powerful. This will be especially true when rooting out corruption, malfeasance, and racketeering in governments. So can it be done? I am not sure, but I think we're going to find out in the very near future.

A free society depends on our general confidence in the power of reason, that people have intelligence and good judgment enough to handle the cognitive demands of living freely.

Yet now our current concerns with social unrest, triggers, and inflammatory language and images has led some social-media giants curating speech. Some history teachers have found their online course lessons on German history blocked because they contain archival footage of Hitler giving a speech or a Nazi parade. Thus the censorship debate has now become main stream.

We must decide as a society, should dangerous ideas always be allowed so that they can be confronted openly? Is sunlight the best disinfectant?
