One of the main points I got from Barb McQuade's book, Attack from Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America, is that with social media our metaphors of speech & debate are out of date & they're being used against us.
I still hear, “I don’t like what they have to say, but I’ll fight to the death their right to say it!”
Does that mean you’ll defend to the death the “right” of 5,000 bots out of Russia to amplify intentional lies about our election?
