      Should anyone be able to say boldfaced lies, reinforced through coordinated efforts with co-conspirators, both real and fake, at such a rapid pace that the value of speech is reduced to nothing?

      If no, how do we fix this issue of coordinated, high velocity misinformation?

      Anything? Do you mean legally, or morally?

      Do you think it’s fine for people to take offense to speech, and collectively agree to exclude a speaker from society over speech?

      What about businesses disallowing speech on private property?
