Terms of service, right. So what I've seen is functionally the way these systems have been put in place at Facebook, in my personal experience, is it's just a race to the bottom of which side can cynically attack the other and can mass report it. Like I've seen these groups. You get together in this group. You decide you don't like the blah, blah ad group.

And you're just going to go mass report it. This is just simply the way that both parties have had to operate. So I share his assessment that it's just so broken that for us to have an open dialogue, the community note system is going to be better.

And look, every single sister I've talked to out there, it doesn't make me happy to hear some of the things they're going to be saying about transgender people. Now, it's very hurtful. Like this discussion is not going to be humanizing. It's just, I feel like we've either got to, we've tried this playbook of silencing the other side when they're saying some truly vile stuff.

And it just has utterly failed. Like for everyone, women, black people, gay people, trans people, up and down the line, trying to silence speech is just making our enemies that much stronger. And I think moving forward, it's got to move back to an old school liberal idea. We've just got to have an answer for this stuff and we've got to hit these ideas directly and have a better argument.

Like, what does it mean? Barry, it is so weird to me because I talked to Democratic operatives and it's like they just, they're like these fighters in World War II that don't know that the war is over, right? We lost. We lost. We're moving into a new era. The vibe shift is real. And they're sitting there posting their outrage and saying they're going to leave Facebook.

I can point to like 20 people that I know that are doing this. It's like this is not going to work. It's not going to change it. This is where America is. They want free speech. They want open discussion. They're tired of things being verboten for them to say. And it's just so enraging that Democrats don't seem to understand this yet.

This is what our party needs to do desperately. We've got to work with the Republicans where it makes sense, find common ground. I'm old enough to remember when this is how it used to work, instead of digging your heels in and then Bush 2.0 happened. But this is my message to you, Batya. It's like, as a Democratic operative, I almost hope this chaos happens.
