If the founding fathers were around today...

Not sure. As Surtur says there'd be a good chance they recognize those as a public square and so would say that yes, it should be extended to them. Otoh, the opposing argument of course is that private companies can do whatever they like on their own platforms & so government shouldn't interfere. Problem is that those big companies like twitter or facebook are all damn near being monopolies. I realize there are other platforms but they don't get near as much of the amount of traffic as platforms like the two I mentioned above.

So I'm not really sure what the founders would decide but I'm leaning towards thinking that they would agree that free speech should extend to them.

👆 Yep.

Now wait for litlle Pooty Bot to be triggered lol. 🙂

I mean hey, as much shit as he talks about the constitution, it's the constitution that enshrines his right to talk shit about the constitution.

It's also our constitution that protects us in the US from the word police that are running around in other countries, prosecuting people for comedy videos, setting police on twitter to take legal action against tweets, making someone pay a transgender politician of all people $55,000 for factually accurately referring to them as biologically male.

They don't even have recognized gay marriage in Serbia.

How are they when it comes to free speech?

Mythlord why did you appear to be so thankful to live in a place that doesn't recognize gay marriage?! You thanked heaven, you're legit giving thanks to other dimensions over this. Weird.

Multiple posters triggered by Serbia... intriguing...

They’d abhor stuff like the Patriot act, warrantless spying, and US Imperialism for sure

Fair point, but not 100% sure they'd feel that way after hearing both men talk.

IMO, they'd vote for Obama over Trump, if asked to choose.

Not particularly good apparently, but I don't know the details.

Word is that hate speech caused them a bit of trouble not that long ago. Understandable they'd bring it in slowly.

It's blatant Whataboutism and deflection. lmfao

We don't have gay marriage, to be fair, but we're catching up to that. It's mostly that the majority of our country currently is old, conservative people who were born at a time where extreme right-wing politics were the norm. Younger generations are more and more accepting of LGBT+ rights.
And our Prime Minister is a Lesbian, so there's that as well. Like I said, I recognize my country's flaws and am willing to discuss and oppose them. I'm sure that's such a strange concept to y'all... admitting your country isn't the #greatest. 🙁

Muricans think they have the monopoly of spouting insults to their cutesy country.

Keep getting triggered boys, keep getting trigered.
