From your OP:āThen why does the constitution say that congress will pass no law prohibiting freedom of speech.āWrong.
The doctrine of free speech concerns solely the relationship between government and those governed, not between or among private persons and entities, such as online message boards.
No āfree speechā has been āviolated.ā
There is nothing āevilā about USMB editing or prohibiting content.
Then why does the constitution say that congress will pass no law prohibiting freedom of speech. Could it be that because doing so is a bad thing? Well if it is bad for the government to do, it is also bad for anybody else to do. All that "private" bullshit is just a gigantic loophole for those with absolutely no morals, honor or dignity to jump on an atomic pogo stick through.
If people can't survive through honesty and fair play, they need to DIE! As horribly as possible. They need to be slowly tortured. Then after being given some time to heal, tortured some more. But first, see their family members tortured to death before their eyes. Parts of which I would feed to them and tell them it is pork. Then reveal the truth at a later date.
If I was to write a constitution, I would go beyond making it illegal for congress to pass a law prohibiting free speech. I would make it illegal for anybody to do so. But being on the side of evil, I doubt if you would agree.
Congress (the government) ā not USMB.
Government prohibiting speech which is entitled to Constitutional protections is accomplished through the authority of the state, subjecting citizens to fines, penalties, or even imprisonment.
Private online message boards have no such authority, the same is true for private persons ā absent the authority to exact punitive measures against citizens, private persons and entities arenāt subject to First Amendment jurisprudence, and their editing of content isnāt a āviolationā of āfree speech.ā
Can you get any farther from the subject at hand? It doesn't matter what the government or judiciary branch has the authority to do. What matters is whether or not restricting freedom of speech is good or evil.
Also, as far as "private" entities such as companies or corporations are concerned, it is they who hold the real power in the U.S. Believe it. Because it is true. For example, to paraphrase Calvin Coolidge, "The business of government IS business."
āAs you know, I am in favor of free speech. Absolutely free speech. Nothing is off limits. Even yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded movie theater should be allowed.ā
Thatās from U.S. v. Schenck, a Supreme Court decision ā you opened the door to references to free speech jurisprudence; addressing First Amendment case law is very much on topic, your topic.
Indeed, youāre the one trying to change the subject because you were proven to be ridiculous and wrong.
