Ok but this 60 minutes story is about European governments arresting and prosecuting people for their speech online, not about social media moderation. It seems appropriate to point out that 1A protects Americans from that kind of prosecution.

You're missing the point.

I don’t think so. Did the 60 minutes intro actually say that the first amendment protects you from a platform banning you?

Can you go back and read the thread to which you reply-guyed?

You won’t answer my question?

Im sorry, I’m not trying to be rude, but I honestly think Sherrilyn is just wrong here, and anyone who watches the 60 minutes intro would see it. Its true that Musks whole speech absolutism think is bunk, and that 1A doesn’t protect against platforms removing hate speech..
