Secretly employing algorithms to weed out speech which twitter dissents to is tantamount to violating first amendment rights.

The first amendment does not apply to private corporations. They can run their site as they see fit. The 1st Amendment applies to the government, not private businesses.

“The first amendment does not apply to private corporations. They can run their site as they see fit. The 1st Amendment applies to the government, not private businesses.”

Private businesses, as well as public corporations who advertise on Twitter have the right to know what their policies are. “Advertise with us, and by the way, we are secretly censoring some of your customers who may say things” is not a very good marketing strategy.

>>The 1st Amendment applies to the government, not private businesses.

Private corporate collectives that operate under the privilege of corporate charter and use public infrastructure like DARPAnet.

Maybe their hive shouldn’t enjoy that privilege if it’s so bent on subverting the error-contradicting spirit of the 1st amendment.

We used to prohibit commerce with the Soviets for good reason.
