If you loved SOPA, you’ll love Facebook’s vision of limiting speech on the Internet so that only those who are “civil” (and who gets to decide what that is?) can speak without fear of reprisal. It seems everyone suddenly wants to limit what can be said on the Internet, from Iran to Facebook.

Now, Facebook is not the government, so it can do what it pleases, and our remedy if we don’t like it is to avoid Facebook. That’s what I do. But to argue that anonymity is toxic, that it encourages speech that they don’t enjoy, at the same time claiming that there is no danger to free speech or the First Amendment is childishly naive and legally incorrect.
