Free speech means a free internet — even if Democrats don't like it | TheHill
'The Federal Election Commission (FEC) recently held two days of hearings on proposed internet regulations. '
'To enact broader internet regulations because of the Democratic Party’s sour grapes is the definition of foolishness. '
'Dan Backer is founding attorney of political.law, a campaign finance and political law firm in Alexandria, Va. '
'The FEC used the hearings, at which I testified, to consider different approaches — some more restrictive than others — to “improve” disclaimers for online political advertising. '
'Keep free speech on the internet free from Big Government. '

Free speech is a right. Its not something that can be regulated.
Your local gov't uses facebook huh? Can you post hate speech on that platform? Huh. Who just violated your free speech rights? Well, the gov't ~ by entering into a mutually agreed upon contract with FB to conspire to eliminate your free speech rights.
