When we're debating "free speech" and social media, remember to include "amplification" in the discussion.
It is OK to have any opinion. Otherwise innovation and truth are suppressed.
It is not OK to influence hundreds, thousands or millions with an opinion when:
1) The counter-position is not also presented
2) It is messaged to a receptive audience (aka: not discerning)
I recommend listening to all opinions. But don't amplify them unless you have done your research.
And, by "research", I mean finding sources that are less likely to be biased and are not merely amplifying a similar message.
Society has erroneously equated charisma to intelligence and integrity.
This is how suckers have been conned for centuries.
