freedom of expression is different from freedom to pay to amplify the expression.
- streblo 7y agoAccount age has no bearing on whether a comment is high or low quality.
- asxd 7y agoI don’t think the age of their account should be a factor in the validity of their arguments. It would be one thing if our rights were restricted so that we could never pay for reach of expression. That seems like it would be a violation of free speech. But in this case (as noted) it’s a private entity enforcing their own legitimate policy exclusively on their own platform.
- Aperocky 7y agoYes, and freedom of expression includes people who created account 3 months ago, who decided to amplify his message which are then read by you here. In order to do that, the person paid for internet, electronics, invested time and thought into this practice. The right to pay for something using money is inherent as the right to spend another resource such as time or labor.
