"Cancel culture is the uptick of campaigns, especially successful campaigns starting around 2014 to get people fired, expelled, de-platformed, et cetera, for speech that would normally be protected by the First Amendment."

"The biggest sin in terms of censorship is called viewpoint discrimination, that essentially you allow freedom of speech except for that opinion."

"This will be laughed out of court."

"Cancel culture is cruel, it’s merciless, it’s anti-intellectual, but it also will never get you anywhere near truth."

"Censorship doesn’t actually change people’s minds and it pushes them in directions that actually, by very solid research, will actually make them more radicalized."
