It basically says muzzling/censoring the speech of others is not itself speech, or at least not protected speech in this context.<p>>the platforms offer a rather odd inversion of the First Amendment. That Amendment, of course, protects every person's right to "the freedom of speech." But the platforms argue that buried somewhere in the person's enumerated right to free speech lies a corporation's unenumerated right to muzzle speech.
That’s BS. If citizen’s united made corporations corporeal allowing them to fund candidates and such surely it gives them free speech. The court’s narrow reading of things is odd at best as they want citizen’s united to hold so right wing candidates can be funded with unlimited corporate funds but don’t want the woke tech world to police speech. This ruling could make Cloudflare reinstate all the abhorrent sites they take down.<p>America continues to bifricuate and it sucks that the courts are becoming political as well. I think I’ll never return: I’ll just stay in the EU for the foreseeable future and enjoy a modicum of normalcy in government unless forced to return home to the US for some reason.
