The 1st Amendment of the United States applies to Congress, not everything. Even in that context, freedom of speech has limits (e.g. libel, slander, child pornography, sexual harassment, etc.).
It's not unreasonable to ban hate-speech.
- solipsism 10y agoIt's not unreasonable to ban hate-speech In the US it is, in general, unconstitutional to ban hate speech (except when it also happens to be unprotected speech, such as a threat). But that has absolutely no bearing on the subject at hand, of course, so I'm not sure why you bring it up.
