> The right to speak, but not the right to be heard

Right to be heard implies a coercion to be heard. That’s the paradox of free speech.

We're not talking about forcing people's eyes open to watch content, à la 'Clockwork Orange'.

It's not hard to imagine social media discussion being made a lot more meritocratic, and a lot less censorious.

Vital scientific perspectives on topics that affect literally billions of people ought not be secretly censored for political purposes by non-scientists. That isn't really a huge demand; it's pretty basic freedom and science and health stuff.
