It is now ringing within the chambers\u00a0of right-wing\u00a0Twitter in response to the recent \u2018censoring\u2019 of the 45<sup>th<\/sup> President of the United States and\u00a0the \u2018Orwellian\u2019 clamp-down on the nascent,\u00a0far-right\u00a0social media platform,\u00a0Parler.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The discourse that has\u00a0been popular in\u00a0right-wing politics\u00a0over the last\u00a0five or so years\u00a0argues that in the West,\u00a0conservative\u00a0and\u00a0libertarian\u00a0voices and opinions are being silenced by a\u00a0media\u00a0elite that\u00a0kowtows to\u00a0the \u2018liberal\u2019\u00a0establishment.\u00a0It would appear, to many, that the greatest threat to democracy in Europe and North America is the erasure of freedom of speech. But, the concept of \u2018free speech\u2019 has been poisoned by the\u00a0Right and marketed to an audience unwilling to face the consequences of the social contract that allows for the healthy development of political thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This skewed definition sees freedom of speech as the right to say anything and say it without consequence.&nbsp;It is not.&nbsp;In the transcendent words of Oscar Wilde:&nbsp;\u2018I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an ass of yourself\u2019. Freedom of speech has, and continues to,&nbsp;thrive in developed democracies; we do not live in&nbsp;a&nbsp;1984-like society&nbsp;where even internal thought seems too dangerous to pursue. Indeed, the&nbsp;United&nbsp;States probably supports the most diverse and polarising conversations within modern politics: anyone&nbsp;<em>can<\/em>&nbsp;say whatever they like \u2013 largely unregulated social media platforms make that even easier. As Wilde&nbsp;saw&nbsp;it, everyone is free to \u2018make an ass\u2019 of themselves, and this is fundamental to how freedom of speech works.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ability to disseminate controversial opinion is dependent on a very well established and complex&nbsp;social&nbsp;contract&nbsp;of consequence and opposition. In the clearest&nbsp;example, hate-speech is prosecuted because society has decided that hateful, violence-inciting rhetoric is unacceptable.&nbsp;The challenge with political movements like Trumpism, that foster hateful speech, is their popularity and their clandestine development. It has taken a full presidency for real consequence&nbsp;to manifest&nbsp;against&nbsp;such bigoted opinion. That is to say, freedom of speech itself allowed for the development of such politics: if freedom of speech had genuinely been under threat to the extent that alt-right&nbsp;commentators like Milo Yiannopoulos&nbsp;would have had us believe in 2016, then Trump would never have been inaugurated.&nbsp;In reality, political freedom allowed Trump to creep in under the banner of populism.&nbsp;Now, Americans have seen the reality behind the rhetoric: regressive social policy, unmasked racism and an incompetent handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp;Not only did such damaging thought reach an arrogant unwillingness to consider consequence, it worked against&nbsp;an opposition&nbsp;that did. Trump\u2019s campaign of misinformation and his attack on the media represents real censorship. If it weren\u2019t for well-established private institutions, freedom of speech and freedom of the&nbsp;press would have died with the Trump presidency.&nbsp;Fortunately, the unwritten constitution that is freedom of speech has remained firm,&nbsp;and Trumpism met consequence in the presidential election last year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, \u2018free speech\u2019 is being bandied about by a ruling, white&nbsp;class. Much like racism, as it is now defined (systemic, historically informed), cannot be experienced by the white population, it is absurd to suggest that white supremacist, far-right Americans are currently being censored. They exist in a system that functions to benefit them, and it remains stable&nbsp;(even as they terrorise the political centres that ensure such privilege).&nbsp;Again, this sullied definition of \u2018free speech\u2019 is responsible for such antidemocratic action. It has&nbsp;also&nbsp;been married to the ugliest forms of racism,&nbsp;such that those who stormed the&nbsp;Capitol felt they had a right to challenge&nbsp;the&nbsp;democratic majority in a way that they would have&nbsp;never&nbsp;afforded any other group. If the ability to live-stream a violent insurrection isn\u2019t freedom of speech being tested at its limits, then what is?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a recent twitter thread, Russian opposition leader and victim of&nbsp;<em>real<\/em>&nbsp;censorship, Alexey Navalny,&nbsp;has argued, perhaps unsurprisingly, that Twitter\u2019s decision to indefinitely remove Donald Trump from the platform sets a dangerous precedent:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/navalny\/status\/1347970421161922560\">\u201cthe enemies of freedom of speech around the world&nbsp;[\u2026]&nbsp;will say:&nbsp;\u2018this is just common practice, even Trump got blocked on Twitter\u2019.\u201d<\/a>Though Twitter\u2019s action was not rogue, nor government instigated, he is right to question&nbsp;the company\u2019s&nbsp;power and influence. Trump and Brexit have revealed an undeniable truth about the&nbsp;current&nbsp;political playing field:&nbsp;social&nbsp;media holds too much power.&nbsp;Facebook\u2019s involvement with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/04\/04\/us\/politics\/cambridge-analytica-scandal-fallout.html\">Cambridge&nbsp;Analytica<\/a>, for example,&nbsp;is just one of the genuine threats to political freedoms that we now face. Voter suppression and misinformation shouldn\u2019t be tolerated, regardless of political persuasion. Again, Twitter&nbsp;and Facebook\u2019s&nbsp;decision to remove Trump\u2019s account was necessary, and supported by the majority, but, now, the cohort of tech giants must face oversight and regulation in order to avoid the damaging division that characterised politics in the US and the UK&nbsp;during&nbsp;the&nbsp;2010s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, a misinformed and unchecked minority has been allowed to run rampant over social media;&nbsp;only now has the reality of freedom of speech hit them.&nbsp;It would benefit us all to acknowledge that speech is not a freedom we must be concerned about, and instead tackle the prejudices and injustices that persist. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s time that we stop using \u2018free speech\u2019 in its disingenuous guise as a buzzword.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":2873,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_oct_exclude_from_cache":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
