Public Address | Cafe | Legal Beagle: Steelmanning hate speech reform https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/ en-us Copyright (c) 2026 Public Address Kumara Republic https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/legal-beagle-steelmanning-hate-speech-reform/?p=384696#post384696 https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/legal-beagle-steelmanning-hate-speech-reform/?p=384696#post384696 I've made my submission.

I've read that such monopolies are just as detrimental to freedom of speech as the Great Firewall of China or the Putin regime in Russia.
