MODERATORS
One is illegal, the other is not.
If they’re doing so in cooperation with or at the direction of anyone in government, it is also illegal.
If we're talking first amendment, it allows for a lot.
It doesn’t allow for this. Already been ruled on.
Like abortion has already been ruled on, right.
Based on the text of the first amendment, it seems like a slam dunk to me to destroy free speech as long as it's not Congress doing it.
abortion isnt constitutionally protected.
There no constitutional amendment protecting abortion.
Nor free speech. That was supposed to be my retort, not yours.
It’s actually the very first amendment.
Yes, I mentioned it three comments ago. I thought you might read it.
and does that word mean anything in this context?
No. Nothing reddit is doing is illegal. When you sign up for a service like reddit, there is a TOS, which allows them to ban, warn, limit interaction, etc, at their discretion when terms of their TOS are violated.
If their TOS doesn't allow pictures of butterflies, and you post pictures of butterflies, you will receive a warning. Continue posting butterflies, you'll get banned, until eventually receiving a permaban. There is absolutely nothing illegal about it, because their TOS specifically states no butterfly pictures.
