I think her recent proposal should be a no-go, but it's not "controlling speech."

It's disallowing ANONYMOUS speech on certain platforms. You can still say whatever you want, you just have to say it as yourself.

That might be a concession worth allowing IF:

1. It was the only way to prevent the foreign government influence on social media, which I highly doubt is the case.

AND

2. We were serious about not allowing selective prosecution and government retribution. If Ron DeSantis transparently punishing Disney for criticizing one of his government initiatives wasn't enough to demonstrate that we're not serious about that at all, I trust the very obvious political persecution of Trump and others removes every shadow of every doubt.

So I get it, that's a no-go. But let's not mischaracterize it as something it's not.

And frankly, I'm not more concerned about Haley doing violence to the Constitution than I am DeSantis and Trump, who have already violated it while she's just talking about it in what is almost certainly a campaign promise that will go unfulfilled.

(How did Trump violate the Constitution? Here's a short list, but we can start with three words...COVID, bump stocks.) LINK
