No, Banning Trump From Twitter Does Not "Violate The First Amendment"

 

     Think of Trump as a gay man who wants a wedding cake and Twitter as a bakery. Kicking Donald Trump and his cronies off of Twitter, taking away their degrees and deals, etc. is the least trouble they could face for the murderous sedition pepetrated against the Capitol. 

     Suddenly, the epidemiologists and climate scientists who earned their degrees in internet chat rooms now believe they can interpret constitutional law. The first amendment guarantees freedom of speech on the part of governments, not companies. A company may do whatever it likes in terms of banning content, and people who do not like it have a right to be upset but no constitutional grounds to object.

     Even if it were to apply to companies, the Supreme Court, over 200 years, has consistently ruled that hate speech and incitement are not protected forms of free speech. Telling someone you will murder them is not freedom of speech, and neither is telling 74 million people to murder officials and officers.

     For a group that calls the left snowflakes, the right loves to fall down and melt in their full-blown tantrums.
