The Free and Open Internet

Sure I could have purchased a subscription to the Washington Post, but I don’t believe opinion pieces should be behind a paywall and I certainly don’t believe that something like Dingell’s last words should be behind a paywall. The truth is Dingell’s family should never have asked the Washington Post to publish his last words. The mainstream publications, like Washington Post, have ceded their role as the public square to places like Twitter and Medium that remain open and free.
