Oh how I wished this was satire, but its real LMAO. Really? You’re gonna throw someone in jail just because they called you “fat”?

That’s real fa(t)cism.

    Wrong. Free speech means that nobody denies you your right to speak and or censoring you. Also that only applies to Congress, that they don’t deny you those. And those amendments only apply in your country as other nations have different laws.

    Here is the actual text, see if there is any word of freedom of consequences:

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

      Threatening to throw someone in jail if they insult a politician IS a restriction of free speech. How else do you restrict free speech? They can’t install blocking devices inside a person’s vocal chords that prevents the speech from even occuring.

      This is like saying speeding is not restricted because people can still push the pedal beyond the speed limit. Of course they can! But there are state enforced consequences for it, which means that speeding is illegal (restricted).

        Oh well, I tried and failed, there is no reason to continue trying to argue with you about this.

        But here is a solution: if a provider can’t deal with laws and jurisdiction of other nations, they should make their platform restricted to their respective nation (geofencing, id verification).
