The First Amendment only prohibits Congress – the legislative branch of the United States government – from abridging the right to free speech. This prohibition has since been made applicable to state and local governments through the Fourteenth Amendment, and generally prohibits government interference with free speech rights.
The First Amendment does not prohibit private individuals, companies and employers from restricting speech. The social media platforms responsible for suspending President Trump’s accounts are privately owned and operated, and they are free to limit the content on their sites without implicating the First Amendment. Thus, the First Amendment is not implicated in the decisions made by private social media platforms to suspend President Trump’s accounts.
Moreover, while the First Amendment prohibits government interference with speech that could be deemed hateful, it does not protect illegal and riot-inducing speech. As Justice Wendell Holmes, Jr. stated more than century ago, “[t]he most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic.”
Thus, in Brandenburg v. Ohio, the U.S. Supreme Court held that First Amendment protections do not apply to speech that is “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.”
Employers’ Bottom Line: Because private companies are not bound by the confines of the First Amendment, private companies generally need not consider it when regulating the content of speech in the workplace or making employment-related decisions, such as discipline, based on an employee’s speech. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=164789303
clearly proved your "Private companies CANNOT violate a person’s civil rights. The fact that you argue this point shows how ignorant you really are."
to be wrong on both counts. Arrogance sucks sometimes, eh. The least you could do would be to thank him for getting you up-to-date on something you should have known years ago.
If Trump were in your shoes he wouldn't thank him either.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
