>with the first amendment as it is interpreted in the US. How do you think the 1st Amendment is interpreted that they don’t regulate speech of all kinds? Defamatory speech, libelous speech, commercial speech, noise ordinances, permitting/zoning to limit when and where protests can be held, copyrights/trademarks, speech that interferes with government functions (ie burning drafts cards), advertising restrictions (no advertising tobacco/alcohol to children), regulation of speech of minors by schools and even child pornography are all government regulations of speech.

>How do you think the 1st Amendment is interpreted that they don’t regulate speech of all kinds? I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, but if you're saying the first amendment is not some sort of absolute law, yes I know that. It's interpretation in the US is still quite broad.

  You stated the US does not get a say on what is allowed and not allowed content...the US already regulates what speech/content isn’t allowed (Each platform can further restrict what they allow, but they can’t override the law and host illegal speech) and can order the platforms to take down said illegal speech. It’s probably the single most extreme example but consider the US drone bombing in Yemen to kill a US citizen...while we don’t know the basis of the decision, because the kill list and threshold to get put on said list is not disclosed, most legal scholars believe the basis for this incident are the deceased’s YouTube videos.
