Sad to see Tim Wu jumping the shark on this, especially considering his previous work on net neutrality.

Come on, Mike: it's totally possible to have the government censor Bad Speech while preventing them from ever limiting Good Speech. No, I didn't check the news yesterday. Why do you ask?

"presuming...free speech protections apply to a tech company’s “curation” of content...weakens the ability of the government to regulate so-called common carriers like railroads and airlines" WTH does that mean? Railroads' core business is not in speech. What content would they curate?
