Sedition, terrorism, and advocating the overthrow of the government ARE NOT PROTECTED SPEECH
- throwawaysea 6y agoIn the US, they are actually protected speech unless relating to an imminent threat. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seditious_libel#Seditious_speech_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seditious_libel#Seditious_spee...
- ytpete 6y agoJust to clarify (belatedly), my point was that whether or not it's protected speech doesn't matter when we're discussing Twitter - because Twitter isn't beholden to the 1st Amendment. They are free to block speech even if it is "protected."
