> The first amendment
There's more to free speech than one country's constitution. From the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
> Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
- woofyman 10y agoThen start you're own web site. Do you have unfettered free speech on HN?
- stefantalpalaru 10y ago> Do you have unfettered free speech on HN? I'm hellbanned on HN and my only comments that reach your filter bubble are those manually approved by a moderator (out of a maximum of 4-5 I can make in a day, due to draconian rate limiting). So no, there's nothing resembling free speech here - just moderator approved speech in the PR extension of a VC firm.
