Twitter suspended Canadian feminist Meghan Murphy last week.
The immediate effect of Twitter's suspension involves Murphy enjoying more attention for her ideas.
The longterm effect chills the speech of others and, perhaps even, Murphy as well - if she decides that keeping her Twitter account amounts to a greater good than speaking her mind as freely on that platform.
Subconsciously many already tweet not what's on their mind but with a mind to their digital minders.
Book burners torched my writings at the home of the free speech movement of the 1960s.
A strangely-timed fire alarm curtailed the question-and-answer period of a speech already disrupted by audience members delivering impromptu speeches during the talk.
My books no longer translate as directly to a student audience, which explains this in part.
