Twitter seems to ban all Threads links to reaffirm its position as a “free speech absolutist” platform (www.theverge.com)

A search for Threads content on Twitter currently brings up zero results, despite plenty of links to Meta’s microblogging rival being posted on the platform.

the constitution allows you

I thought the point of the constitution was that it confirms existing rights, not allows or forbids something. While the usual laws do allow or forbid.

Free speech in the web was really funny in the 00s, when moderators could partake in long discussions about it, and then just ban somebody for looking at them wrong (figuratively).
