Time was, so-called "liberals" were First Amendment absolutists, too.

The SJW response to this (which actually has some merit) would be that many people can't afford recording studios, but myspace and its successor, Facebook, have always been an outlet for low-SES aspiring artists.

I'm pulling this out of my ass and could be wrong, but I think I read that in NYC, something like 20% of all stop-and-frisks yielded actual contraband (i.e., drugs or guns). If apart from racism as a selection criterion the stops are totally arbitrary, isn't that a pretty high hit-rate? The TSA invasively frisks…
