It is somewhat disappointing for Persuasion to publish an article which blandly concludes: "But if the European regulatory race to the bottom continues unabated in the decades to come, the essential difference may end up as a matter of degree rather than of kind."

Mchangama was the chief legal counsel for the strongly Libertarian think tank CEPOS which is described in a wiki article as:

"Centre for Political Studies, also known as CEPOS, is an independent association which works as a classical liberal/free-market conservative think-tank in Denmark. It is a strongly right-leaning and highly political association."

Conclusion: Macangama adds nothing to the very complicated and world-wide internet free speech debate
