Hate speech is illegal in many jurisdictions too. So are specific uses of phones for other purposes, aka "wire fraud."
Of course, "you can only moderate speech that's illegal" is different from "you can moderate anything you want" but it's also incompatible with the ruling
- throwaway09223 4y agoBut the phone company won't cancel your phone if you commit fraud. Even a convicted fraudster can still have home telephone service. The courts are responsible for determining the correct course of action, post-conviction. A court may rule that a convict can't use a phone as a condition of parole, but a phone company will never refuse service. No one is complaining about the courts pursuing crimes. The issue is extra-judicial punishments enacted by corporations often under pressure from the government.
