You guys really need to take 10 seconds and actually read the 1st Amendment. It's only one sentence long and very clear about its intent and scope.

The first amendment isn't free speech. Nor should it's protections be interpreted as the absolute limit of what ought to be protected. Either you believe free speech is valuable, and it should be protected from all malicious entities government or corporation. or you don't and the first amendment ought to be abolished.

Yeah, you, specifically, REALLY need to read the 1st Amendment.

The first amendment recognizes and protects a preexisting intrinsic right. The right to speak freely is not something granted by the government.

There is no 'right' to speak freely. The 1A merely restricts the government's ability to impede your speech. That's it. That's all we have. All this "Facebook censored muh freedumbs" is nonsense that isn't going anywhere.
