Why do some Americans build their whole political and philosophical personality off of 1A maximalism? I'm an American, and it's a great principle. Freedom of speech deserves to be enshrined in the Constitution as a Good Thing, up there with the pursuit of happiness, freedom of the press, and all else. But this idea that nothing that ever even tangentially inconvenience's someone's (or some megacorporation's) expression is a legislative no-go, is a weirdly religious amount of conviction in an abstract principle. This principle, like every other in the Constitution, must carry finite weight.

The amendment process is there for a reason. We must begin to use (and respect) it again, or fall as a country. That’s my take.

Not an american but I would rather enshrine freedom of communication, and just explode the corporations I dont like because they suck.

Theres no "freedom to be a corporation".

In fact just end the limitation of corporate liability and let the courts sort it out.

A lot simpler than targeting a random expression of communication in protcols courts dont understand.
