"Excessive free speech"
In March 2024, G&M opined that "excessive free speech" should be curtailed: "When other communications revolutions like the printing press, radio, and television came along, they were still largely controlled by the elites. But when the internet came along, regulatory bodies like Canada's CRTC backed off. It was open season for anything that anyone wanted to put out. No license needed. No identity verification. What a far cry from the days when the masses had no outlets save things like "man-on-the- street" interviews or letters to the editor or protest placards. We moved from one extreme to the other. The masses were finally weaponized - not with arms, but with a communications instrument that empowered them against establishment forces like they had never been empowered before. The change represented one of history's significant power shifts. With the multitudes given megaphones, what a wonderful democratic advance it was. But it came with a rather massive irony. Free speech became as much a slayer of democracy as an enabler. [2]
