While I don't endorse this state of affairs, the federal government has been putting constraints and obligations on private (especially commercial) speech for decades.
- CryptoPunk 7y agoOnly commercial speech. Private non-commercial speech has been pretty broadly protected by the First Amendment.
- wyager 7y agoCommercial speech (I.e. Facebook’s censorship of material on its advertising platform) is obviously what’s in question here.
- CryptoPunk 7y agoFacebook's censorship has nothing to do with First Amendment rights, as it's a private platform.
