Does free speech exist in USA? Can you say what you want?

@Northwest @Northwest including racism and hate speech?

@Zenbra Including racism and hate speech. This does not mean that private companies should not have a code of conduct and force people who use their platform, to abide by it. These two issues are not the same.

If I own a platform, I am not obligated to allow your hate and racist speech to be carried on it.

@Northwest @Northwest So hate speech is not allowed? is that freedom of speech?

Not on MY platform. The constitution guarantees you the right to stand on a street corner, and yell out loud, whatever goes through your mind. But, if you're on my platform, expect to be shown the door.

I don't understand why this concept is so difficult to comprehend. It's really very simple. If I show up at a black family's home, step into their living room, and use racial epitaphs, would be shocking if they showed me the door?

@Northwest So freedom of speech is allowed under restrictions? Like on a corner ..etc

You should really familiarize yourself with the US Constitution, specially the first amendment.

If this is NOT about the US Constitution, then it's a different discussion.

@Northwest @Northwest I was just curious of what is meant of Freedom of Speech. I have no intention of going to USA anytime.

@Zenbra it’s not that complicated. You can say whatever you want, but I don’t have to either listen to you OR provide a platform to amplify your hate.

@Northwest so if a nazi starts talk about hatred of Jews or similar... That's allowed by law?

@Zenbra theoretically yes
