@ctwardy Followup - friend + ACLU position piece convinced me that Munroe's narrow point is solid: the case history of the first amendment "free speech" right has largely been about arrests. And it took shockingly long to get the first case. Censorship is broader than 1st amm.

I’m not a fan of the XKCD “free speech” strip. I think it fails the reflexivity test. Lazy screenshot here.

On the other hand, Munroe usually does his homework. Is there a clearer discussion?
