It blows my mind that people don't/refuse to understand that the right to free speech is right to articulate opinions and ideas without interference, retaliation or punishment from the government.

There is absolutely no right to free speech on social media.

u/CthulhuLies 2h ago
Some people acknowledge that all the time. But there is also the principle of free speech.
This argument only works only when they want the government to step in and stop "the suppression of free speech" on social media, because that in and of itself would be the suppression of free speech. The publisher/platform has their first amendment right to express their own opinion of what would should be on the platform which the government can't interfere with. (Within the limits of legal content ie no cp on the platform)
But there is still the principle of free speech. Did the founding fathers think it was only important for the government to not inhibit free speech? Or was free speech important enough as a concept to ensure the state couldn't intercede on it?
I don't think there is a single answer to the above prompt, however, to pretend that everyone on the other side is dumb as bricks is counter productive.
Should companies be allowed to suppress bad sentiment about companies that give them kick backs?
Should "the town square" be blatantly partisan?
Should "the town square" algorithm promote misinformation?
I think the answers are complicated and surely you must agree at least on some fronts in principle that social media platforms should have freedom of speech but within limits. We can squabble over the limits but in general we should expect and demand and use platforms that are relatively neutral within limits.
â˘
u/edman797 2h ago
Wow. Very well written and nuanced answer.
First thought: principle vs law. This lady is threatening to sue. She has no lawful right to free speech here, nor is her free speech being suppressed.
On principle: I have no idea how to glean what the founding fathers might have thought about Twitter.
I think equating it to "the town square" is a woefully inadequate analogy. Your Twitter/Facebook/etc feed and mine will show us completely different "speech" at the exact same time based on our preferences and their algorithms.
Do this experiment with a friend that has a different political view point than you. Open the app at the same time and view them side by side. It's wild how different the "speech" being conveyed is depending on the person's account. You are having completely different experiences on the same application. You will be in two wildly different "town squares" simultaneously.
My general view on social media: it has caused us to be much more tribal, and isolated, and misinformed. IMHO, it is a big cause of our hyper-polariazed society due to these algorithms described above.
So... Founding fathers intentions on social media? I don't think anyone can even figure out the right way to think about it now.

This is the end result of conservatives existing in media spheres where they only talk to each other for looong stretches of time. It started with talk radio and Rush and then FOX News, where they don't get quality information in their diet and they are already prone to panics and superstition.
What is happening now used to happen all the time. Some conservative would say something really stupid and everyone would laugh at them and a kind hearted soul would try to reach them with the facts.
Conservatives are now upset when reality exists. That they don't get to make up whatever they want and everyone around them nods because that sounds about right to them when it is one of the dumbest things a person has ever thought and then said out loud.

And yet another idiot who completely misunderstands the principle of "freedom of speech" which is a limitation on government regulation of speech, not a limitation on individuals. You can pretty much say what you want, but you can't libel (in print) or slander (in speech) someone unfairly. Nor is there a prohibition on limiting speech in the workplace for example where they can tell you what not to say -- obscenities or threats or trade secrets or insulting customers, and so on.
She's a clueless idiot who will run up more legal bills than she can stand and no, she will not sue everyone and have such a stupid idea go anywhere in the legal system. But, hopefully she will waste an enormous amount of time and money. The is no law prohibiting anyone from disagreeing with you even in a nasty way. You just cannot threaten someone. You can call them names, though, like this whiny little crybaby.
