I’m thinking Trump’s new social network will be a very interesting new development.

For a long time those who have wanted not to be censored could always build a competing service.

The new risk now is that people will become more cut off from one another. Having opposing views on the same forum was always a civilizing force.

But now we will see an experiment begin on how segregated echo chambers will effect society.

What happens when people become un-cancellable?

It seems inevitable we will see right leaning equivalents of all the tech platforms.

Funny though that everything hinges on the advertisers, whose risk-averseness appears to be the most effective moderating influence on society we have.

Whether a free speech platform can find a sustainable business model is a big unknown.
