Conflation of social media with free speech is disingenuous & inaccurate. We had free speech before social media, algorithms, and manipulation. Anyone arguing that any warning or regulation of social media companies and what they implement is tantamount to suppressing free speech is totally full of crap.
Free speech can exist without algorithms to manipulate people to stay glued to the app, other people gaming those algorithms to push advertising or disinformation, SEO optimization to manipulate what “free speech” anyone even gets to see, and big money paid influencers guiding “free speech” to their marketing and propaganda goals.
