Is free speech in the US absolute?
I am wondering if a site can say "only praise of politician X allowed, what is praising is at our discretion"
Or "no women allowed"?
If so, cannot Twitter have their own rules about what is correct and what is incorrect?
- nradov 5y agoFree speech in the US isn't absolute, but the Constitution prevents the government from banning most types of speech. By contrast private companies are free to ban anything they want on their platforms, for any reason or no reason at all. Whether it's morally right for powerful tech companies to use that power is another question entirely.
