[ExI] Twitter and free speech

[William Flynn Wallace]

I don't know how you can talk about free speech and censorship in the same
sentence.  Hate speech, scatological words, etc. have to be free as well -
no one saying they can't say those things.

But exactly where is totally open free speech practiced?

Why not have two Twitters: one censored, one totally open?  Now we'll find
out just what people really want to say.   bill w
