The left created the situation that led to Tommy Robinson's rise by silencing difficult conversations.

Yeah, well, this is why I say that the left created Tommy. Like, the left created this situation as well. Like, if you would only show something, maybe we have some difficult conversations and actually not silence freedom of speech or not silence content, then people might not start questioning this too much. People might not start dedicating their lives to it or getting involved in activism to try and fight it. Like, that wouldn't be the case because there wouldn't be a silence around it. There wouldn't be these issues.

Social media platforms act like publishers and have a duty to hold free speech as a core value.

Well, yeah, well, what this documentary explores is the increasing powers that social media have in changing the Overton window, in influencing what people can and can't watch online as consumers, in changing elections. And this is why it's so important. And a lot of people argue, oh, well, you know, they're private companies, they can do what they want. Well, they're actually acting like publishers and they actually have a duty to actually hold free speech as one of their core values, especially given how important social media is in our society.
