If Mark Zuckerberg Wants to Talk, Britain Is Waiting: Facebook leadership has a history of lashing out instead of opening up; The New York Times, January 22, 2019

Damian Collins, The New York Times; If Mark Zuckerberg Wants to Talk, Britain Is Waiting:

Facebook leadership has a history of lashing out instead of opening up

"Mr. Collins is a member of the British Parliament....

So much of our lives is organized through social media, and many people use social media platforms as the main source of information about the world around them. We cannot allow this public space to become a complete wild West, with little or no protection for the citizen user. The rights and responsibilities that we enjoy in the real world need to exist and be protected online as well."

Will a traffic plan at Trump’s new D.C. hotel block free speech?; Washington Post, 8/12/16

Colbert I. King, Washington Post; Will a traffic plan at Trump’s new D.C. hotel block free speech? :

"Rob Hawkins, Bowser’s communications director, also emailed: “We are unaware of any agreement that would prevent anyone from exercising their First Amendment rights in front of the hotel or otherwise using the public space. The sidewalks abutting the hotel . . . are to remain accessible to pedestrians even during special events . . . that would close Pennsylvania Avenue to vehicular traffic. The District-controlled street will also be accessible for protests and assemblies. Public spaces in the District of Columbia are a particularly powerful location for First Amendment expression and it is our commitment to keep them that way.”

So if the District keeps its word, the First Amendment will trump Trump. We’ll know soon enough.

The Trump International Hotel’s grand opening is set for Sept. 12."
