Instapundit Glenn Reynolds on his Twitter Suspension, Online Free Speech, & His Presidential Vote

------

Reason's Nick Gillespie talked with Reynolds about the recent controversy, why cops get away with crimes that ordinary citizens don't, and his fears that Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other online platforms are approaching "monopoly" status. A self-described libertarian, Reynolds isn't calling for government intervention but he's worried that the wide-open ethos of unbridled speech and flame wars is giving way to an online world that is every bit as over-policed and regulated as meat space.

Reynolds also lays out his case for why a Donald Trump presidency would likely be less awful than a Hillary Clinton one. But...is he actually voting for Trump?

The world needs less lawyers and "pundits".

10:17 Doesn't change the fact that Leslie Jones does look like man.

We need decentralized services on the internet like we used to have. Multiple competing access sites that network to provide the same service (similar to the way IRC works) for a small monthly fee. If someone gets kicked off of one access site they can just move to another one and access the same service again. The monthly fee will put the influence in the hands of consumers rather than advertisers. There is no free lunch, and if you want liberty you'll have to pay for it.

Run them down. And bayonet the wounded.
