This is a very well-articulated account of how people misunderstand the First Amendment, its history, and its application to moderation.
One of my favorite snippets:
First, many Americans across the full spectrum of opinion—from the progressive left to libertarians to Trump-supporting conspiracy theorists—talk as if the First Amendment guarantees their right not only to voice their opinions in public, but to have instant, unfiltered, global access to an audience of millions, regardless of how ill-founded, incoherent, and misleading those opinions might be. In fact, for the first two centuries of the First Amendment, people whose opinions did get widespread exposure achieved this attention only through the press, whose freedom is likewise guaranteed by the First Amendment.
