Most proposals for 9 bit bytes weren't for adopting 8 bits of data in a byte, they were to have 8 bits for data and 1 bit for something else, typically either error detection or differentiating between control/data. Very few folk

I’m not, for what it’s worth. I’m arguing that I think the free speech case is stronger for the users and software distributors who are enjoined from the platform or distributing certain software applications than it is for the platform wh
