The argument is all mixed up. Platforms like Reddit and Facebook may certainly have whatever speech policies they like, but the government cannot arrest you and take you to jail for speech.
They can for non-protected speech.
Inciting violence is not protected.
“…the government cannot arrest you and take you to jail for speech.”
1.There is no “the government”. We have Federal, State, and Local governments.
2. Ohio Revised Code, Section 2909.23 | Making terroristic threat.
(A) No person shall threaten to commit or threaten to cause to be committed a specified offense when both of the following apply:
(Skip)
(C) Whoever violates this section is guilty of making a terroristic threat, a felony of the third degree. Section 2909.25 of the Revised Code applies regarding an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violation of this section.
I skipped part of it but the whole thing is here: https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-2909.23
Correct me if I’m wrong (politely please) but it looks like a government can arrest ypu and take you to jail for at least some speech.
Actually they can.
Contrary to the mythology screamed on social media, you do not have a right to political intimidation and violent threat. The people you are threatening have a superior right to be free from such behavior. The US has a long history of dealing with domestic terrorists engaging in political violence. The KKK, the Weatherman and the Anarchists are just some examples
The idea that anything you say, post or publish is “free speech” is a myth.
