As you go from British common law to the American constitution to Internet encryption, you get stronger protections on freedom of speech.And the actual battle over freedom of speech over the last decade wasn’t actually waged over the First Amendment (whose text remained unchanged) but over how Internet services would in practice moderate the speech of billions, most of whom were not American.That was really a struggle at the level of the international network, as opposed to the nation state.Andrew Benson (@ ...
