## What Jamie wrote

This is a good ruling, and highlights something I’m pretty vocal about, you have no right to free speech on any online service operated by a company. I think there is also a flip side of this, with the right to moderate and censor content, should also come obligations to do that and some amount of accountability for the speech you do host. Right now social media companies want it all their way. No accountability, and complete control. That needs to end.
