AN AVALANCHE OF SPEECH CAN BURY DEMOCRACY

In the digital age, when speech can exist mostly unfettered, the big threat to truth looks very different. It’s not just censorship, but an avalanche of undistinguished speech—some true, some false, some fake, some important, some trivial, much of it out-of-context, all burying us.

WHY A CONSERVATIVE SOCIAL NETWORK WOULD FAIL

Most people are not primarily political animals, not even now, in the age of Trump. Instagram has become a runaway success precisely because it contains almost zero political content. Making conservative arguments without liberals wouldn’t be any fun. And such a plan is financially unfeasible.
