I'll say this on the whole lock up your cell phone thing.
Personally, I don't really have a problem with it, however, I do find it rather ironic.
That the exercise is being led by people like Chappelle that cast themselves as these "free speech" warriors, when, the act of attempting to lock people out of their phones is a direct attempt to control the means and methods of speech with their audience, in part, so as to minimize potential blowback for their own speech.
And Chappelle and others will also often give the game away, which is by saying things along the lines of "well, comedy is sometimes about pushing boundaries and lines get crossed over every now and then" to which, yeah, I get it. But what you are really signaling with your actions is not that you give a shit about free speech or whatever, since you are actively trying to restrict your audience's ability to exercise it. It's that you want freedom of consequence for your speech. Are willing to restrict the means and methods of others, use your more powerful platform to try and achieve it and disingenuously frame your actions as a noble pursuit instead of the self-serving, hypocritical exercise it actually is.
