Last I saw, the word “extremist” wasn’t in the first amendment. And in any case it’s highly subjective.

- krapp 2y agoYou're the last person who should be making an argument from the first amendment, given that the first amendment explicitly allows private platforms to do what you're opposed to them doing. You literally started this subthread with a thesis that the first amendment as written wasn't sufficient for modern society, and I don't see the words "corporation" or "algorithm" in it, either.
- efitz 2y agoNo, the first amendment allows PEOPLE the right of free speech. The core of my argument is that corporations themselves are NOT people. The individuals who work for (or own stock in) a corporation are people and can do what they want; they just shouldn’t be allowed to use the money and power of the corporation to advance their own agendas.
