Yes, and that’s ... again ... “the point” ... It is CONTROLLED as it is on every other part of the Internet. And it has ALWAYS been controlled on the Internet.

what you say is ridiculous . you can find almost any kind of website. if it's a private site then that private owner has the right to have rules for what is discussed and who will be allowed membership.

the Internet is pretty much free .sure you can find exceptions but in the comments you can say almost anything on some sites or blogs even on youtube.

you are arguing for government regulation of the Internet which will totally ruin it.the Internet is working and there is a free exchange of ideas. if i want to start a web site or blog i can do it for almost free or free and can say almost anything on my site . so that is free speech.if you want to say something start your site or blog and say it . that's freedom of speech. if the FCC or net neutrality gets a hold of the Internet then they will shut down free speech and regulate it. a site is like a private home or private business. it's owner has a right to set rules .

what you are arguing for is for anyone to go into anyone’s house and say anything there. that's against private property rights. private property rights are a basic for freedom and liberty and so is free speech. for the most part there is a free flow of ideas and almost anyone can create a web site on almost any topic and say almost anything on the Internet for now.

sure you can find exceptions but nothing can ever be absolute . basically the Internet works. the gov regulating it would ruin it as a way to get true and accurate information and different points of view and freedom of expression.
