Bluesky Post (this was also posted on twitter)

I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

I'm explaining how the first amendment works to you, that's all. Freedom of speech doesn't apply in spaces owned by private corporations, they can limit your speech in any way shape or form they want as long as you're on their turf.

You keep explaining the letter of the law, poorly, to someone that understands both the law and justice system much better than yourself.

Don't think you do buddy! Do you think you can sue a shop owner if they throw you out because you're saying things they don't like?

If you know so much about the first amendment and it doesn't apply to Internet forums and platforms, how come you're not rich from suing Twitter or something?

All strawman.

The shopping mall is not legally obligated to eject the Nazi.

But, you think government should force action upon the private entity because the majority disagrees with Nazis.

That's exactly the opposite of why the 1st Amendment exists. Everyone else learned this when they studied why someone can burn the flag or why the ACLU supports Satanists.

I've no want for your nonsense. And, you do a disservice to others by repeating it. Go learn about quasi public spaces.

You're the only one who keeps talking about the government here

Of course! Big government needs to save us from our 1st amendment rights. Thanks so much. I don't think I'd have figured it out without your help.

No one else is, people are denouncing the fact that there's a lack of moderation on their forums, they're not asking the government to intervene.

That's not a question. Your loss.

I know, it's hard to admit that you built your whole argument around a lack of reading comprehension :(
