This article seems to conflate Facebook allowing (or not allowing) you to say whatever you want and the government doing so.
The First Amendment gives Facebook the right to ban specifically Robby Soave's articles for no reason whatsoever.
Some people say that the government needs to force places like Facebook to host more user content in various ways. It'll be interesting to see how that pans out.
- 0xBDB 2y agoThe only mention of the First Amendment seems to be specifically in regard to Zuck's allegation (whether you believe it or not) that the government subjected him to overwhelming pressure to fact check as he did. I don't know whether that's legally a First Amendment violation, if true, but I don't think the article is conflating anything.
