I’m as much of a free speech absolutist as anyone. But speech that causes harm is not free in my interpretation. And clearly it isn’t in Substack’s either as they are removing calls for violence. But calls to direct violence is not the only way that speech can be harmful, and Substack should recognize that. It’s not their responsibility to give a platform to those who want to cause harm to others, either directly or indirectly. I don’t use or read substack but I’m still disappointed that they are only interested in doing the bare minimum. I know why (💵💵💵) but I’m still disappointed.
