Alright, heres the problem with Baron Cohen's speech and ideas about media, and even social media:
We already know who or what controls the media.
I know what you're thinking. "Krashlia, where are you going with this?"
The fact that you guessed what I was thinking is illustrative of the problem. Now, let me ask, if thats the sort of problems with human interaction, communication, and behavioral prediction we're working with here, What is there to gain by destroying a culture of free speech by letting the rich, who already control the media, wield the censors pen as well? And why should we trust the government to not abuse private property in order to circumvent Constitutional restrictions? And, before we even get to that, why is it that people are so dumb and unable to recognize a good in itself that they believe that the First Amendment, which codifies a right to free speech, is only for criticism of government?
EDIT: For those who didn't make the connection, Bait-and-switched. Rich and Powerful people control the media, but I meant to mislead the reader on into thinking the answer was "Jews". The fact that it worked and you thought that...
