The most shocking thing to me is not that someone would do this but the Atlantic would post such an obvious bash against freedom of speech. Speech you agree with, the speech that the majority agrees with, doesn't need to be defended or protected. It's the distasteful and disgusting and the speech we disagree with that needs protected.

Any news outlet that is complaining about an AI generated future of content that they disagree with or find distasteful is not a news outlet worth keeping around or listening to. They clearly have failed competing on the merits of their ideas and are now asking for a limitation on what is allowed to be said.

The FCC was the first step for the transformation of freedom of speech to freedom to listen. Where the government decided what was acceptable and unacceptable speech on the airwaves. The internet has allowed for an actual resumption of freedom of speech but there are still those forces that want it to be freedom to listen to what has been deemed acceptable. Make no mistake this is the same thing. They want to decide for you what is acceptable and squash everything else.
