    I am not from the US but can’t you interpret the first amendment in a way that would work here?

    Code is just information and you could argue that a platform is infringing on private free speech.

      i am American, and yes we have a long history of interpretation that is expansive. the problem is we have narrow minded people running the institutions now who don’t even want the narrow interpretations to be in effect so they do everything possible to limit them.

      if you pay attention long enough you will see them use one argument to get their way, then later use the opposite to get their way on a different issue. there is no moral consistency because morality is just s tool to them.
