Quote of the Day
“There is a distinction between freedom of speech and freedom of reach. Any individual American has the absolute right to express their political opinion in whatever way they want. There's a distinction, though, between having a right to post something and having a right to have that post reach 100 million people by virtue of the Chinese Communist Party's influence over the algorithm. Algorithms do not have First Amendment rights, and certainly algorithms subject to Chinese Communist Party dictates do not have First Amendment rights.”
