The First Amendment Explained | Quick Learner

The First Amendment protects freedoms of speech, press, religion, assembly, and petition. This sounds straightforward, but the First Amendment is still the subject of continuing interpretation and dispute.

Here's the full text of the amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

In regards to social media being private entities, they can't use their freedom of speech to sensor others freedom of speech, that's not compatible seeing as they are the new public square. Section 230 protects them from the speech of their users so there's no reason to sensor speech unless it's a crime like threat or iligal activity. They have taken policing of speech to levels that interferes with the first amendment.
That's what's being fought right now with Trump's lawsuit.

Here's an idea;;
If you're going to make a video about one of our constitutional rights, present that right as it was written before you go into all the "limits" and "interpretations" the gov Has put on that "right".

The Supreme corrupt court is the branch that's failing us more than any other.
They consistantly allow individual liberties to be limited by overreaching gov which supports/ represents only the wealthy few

I believe in (almost) absolute free speech, but I do believe it is HOW it is said that makes the difference. I am also a firm believer in the saying, "Your rights end where mine begin". I think a good litmus test for hearing how it is said should be a 'courtroom test.' In other words, if you could get away with saying it in court to a judge, then it is free speech. If you could be whisked away in handcuffs under a contempt of court charge, then it is not so. In other words, a lot of the so-called First Amendment auditors should not be allowed to get away with some of their antics. If you think about it, many of them claim to be 'journalists' while acting like commercial production companies. The last I checked, there are some limitations to 'news' and 'commercial production' (eg--obtaining permission to film and film in public just to name a few).
