   Back in the late 90s, I literally had to explain why spam filters weren’t a violation of free speech. It seemed like a ridiculous thing to have to explain. I thought it would be obvious to everyone that their right to speak didn’t impose an obligation on others to listen.

   Seeing that the same point still needs to be made today just makes me sad.

     @jpgoldberg @Caution @mekkaokereke There's free speech and then there's free listening. Just because the government can't jail you for speaking your mind doesn't mean I have to listen to your gibberish (general you here obviously)
