"Freedom of speech is only for those who own the press" implies that only owners of the press have freedom of speech. That is not true -- everyone has freedom of speech vis a vis the government as zdw pointed out, whether they "own the press" or not.
- greenbean123123 10y agoFree speech outlined in the Constitution is constrained by how loud you can shout. Groups like the alt-right are fueled, in part, because of the belief that they are subjected to unfair and targeted censorship on platforms like Reddit. If they are not able to participate in the discussions being had there, other groups are able to control the narrative to the alt-right's detriment. Being able to defend yourself with your voice is a moot point because, in the age of the Internet, that is not where the discussions are taking place.
