Good lord, she’s deranged. If you hold internet companies accountable for this madness, then all forms of mass media will need to be held accountable, including newspapers, magazines, and TV. The SCOTUS has already deemed the internet to be considered print and is protected by the 1st amendment.

Can you imagine Lester Holt or Dan Blather getting hauled into court over something the broadcasted?

The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic.

Acutally Justice Holmes, that's a private property issue.

If I own a theater, maybe I do NOT want to restrict speech...I've been to theaters where the audience is rowdy and yells at the screen. I've been to concerts where more problematic things than "Fire" have been shouted.

In the free market, people who don't like unrestricted speech/yelling fire will go to the Karen Theatre where you speech is restricted and you aren't allowed to bring your firearm etc.

Over time and equilibrium is established, and the govt stays out of it.

What a long, strange trip it's been, that 53 years after Woodstock that it's the conservatives that are championing free speech and "questioning authority" and the liberals want to shred the Constitution.

Libtard government nazis, like your libtard HR departments, are perfectly fine with hate speech and offensive behavior so long as it is directed against THEIR opponents.

In fact, you will find that they are some of the biggest promoters of it. They just get to define what is and isn't because . . . well, just because they are so much smarter than the rest of us. If you don't believe it, just ask them.

Freedom of speech means nothing unless you have the freedom to offend.

Liberals: We need to restrict free speech because our government schools are far too busy teaching CRT, sexual identity and inclusiveness that they can’t teach history, philosophy and debate. Even though teaching that history, philosophy and debate would help inoculate students against being hoodwinked or manipulated by failed “unacceptable” ideas, we demand the right to spend precious education time exposing students to brown indigenous queers with gender fluidity to ensure dysfunctional groups no longer feel marginalized. Given our high purpose, it is totally unacceptable that anyone else is permitted to manipulate our vulnerable, ignorant kids. These “others” must be silenced.

Is NYS using taxpayer dollars to buy off victims’ families with millions in hush money...?

Inquiring minds want to know.
