Authoritarians tend to caricature freedom as lawlessness.

This is by far the most articulate and apt seven words I’ve read all day.

Do we ever hear people talk about "free speech" without regards to someone being moderated off of a platform? The only reason we have talking points such as Facebook/Twitter = Utility/Town-Square is because right-wingers were being moderated off of digital platforms. Before recently, no one really cared unless it was something such as a child wearing an offensive t-shirt at school.
