This has to be the worst idea I’ve heard all week. The free market doesn’t want to hear hate speech and outright lies, which are the other things that might get censored currently.
It doesn't matter what the free market wants.
What matters is the first amendment.
You are free to say anything you like. I want no part in my tax dollars funding anyone’s speech.
Besides, who sets the laws on what “illegal” speech looks like.
Illegal content would be more accurate.
What content are you unable to post on FB or Twitter today that requires the government get involved?
Anything prohibited by US law.
