Democracy in Action - The Hit Piece on Coin Base
In general, its operating is a kind of hive mind in which the view is not the old school liberal view, more speech is better. It's these companies are sort of falling down on their moral obligation to democracy by not policing hate speech and not policing what they call disinformation on their platforms. I don't believe that most people in society favor this. A small number of highly organized activists who are doing it. And they're doing it to silence people and prevent them from exercising their free speech rights or having dissenting opinions. That's deeply undemocratic. Democracy requires dissent, and it also requires tolerance. The bedrock principle, you can't have democracy without liberalism.
