The First Amendment in the age of disinformation (nytimes.com)

At the top of the article, "Free Speech will Save Democracy" is displayed in a large headline font --- and hovering over it, is a warning box: "Disputed by 3rd party fact checkers. Learn why this is disputed below". Clever and perhaps overly gimmicky, sure. But I found the whole article to be a very thoughtful treatment of a very complex issue.


Good commentary on this article: The Censors Will Never Give Up https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-censors-will-never... . The NYT has a megaphone and wants to shut other people up.
