freedom of speech but not freedom of reach

"...X/twitter CEO linda yaccarino speaks of “censorship is not the answer” and “not on our watch” but in light of her publicly espoused position of “freedom of speech but not freedom of reach” which is used to such intense effect on X these days and so severely limits platforms, pundits, and positions that there are whole lines of discussion that basically cannot be had and numerous folks i follow who NEVER show up in my feed unless i go looking for them, linda does not seem to believe her own words.

" and her actions send a chill through twitter speech as people fear the hidden lines that lead you to reside upon the suppressed list, a place far more subtle and insidious than exile. the exile becomes a martyr, the suppressed just sounds like a whiner when people say “aww, poor baby. did you ever think that it’s just that no one cares about what you have to say?”

" and it’s a powerful effect. i have more followers on twitter than here and the nature of the system leads to 100’s of re-tweets on popular posts. but they still get fewer views than a typical substack.

" it’s obvious the fix is in for certain participants.

" (and don’t i sound whiney complaining about it? that’s the game now.)

Northern Gateway. Keystone XL. Energy East.
Twelve-figure losses, decade-long delays-death by consultation.
...
Alberta knows the pattern. It's not a surprise.
It's not broken.
It's design.
And no matter how many feasibility studies you file or ESG boxes you check, you're still playing inside a structure meant to contain you.
The federal system isn't malfunctioning.
It's functioning perfectly—to maintain control.
Here's what I've learned building strategic frameworks for leaders navigating this:
Three structural chokepoints kill every tidewater crude pipeline.
1. Indigenous constitutional leverage under
Section 35.
2. Environmental litigation infrastructure funded for decades.
