Yeah, the new argument is free speech has limitations. So, shut down the platforms.

False argument because you are free to say whatever you want. It is what you say that is examined after you say it. For instance, you have a bulletin board and people post items for sale. Someone posts they are selling heroin. So, do you shut down the bulletin board, or do you find the person selling the heroin? Harris and the Sgt Bilko believe the BB should be shut down. False premise. Stifling people from saying something the first time is against the BOR IMO.

State free speech rights under state constitutions allow for punishment after speaking/publishing as far as I’ve checked.

The Amendment I of the federal constitution does not envision punishment for free speech. If you yell fire falsely in a DC theater expect to get punished, however.
