Oh the irony of this comment given that the very first amendment to the US constitution is a law protecting "freedom of speech". You know, the one that everyone talks about being so important and necessary for the American way of life.



>the very first amendment to the US constitution is a law protecting "freedom of speech"

The same constitution that is regularly ignored and shit on as part of standard practice?

The constitution doesn't mean anything if the government doesn't follow it.

We also don't need a government to tell us we have free speech on the internet; we have that by default. The only thing governments have the power to do on the internet is damage free speech (which they have done with great consistency).
