I do not have a right to put signs promoting my beliefs in your front yard. Preventing me from doing that is not a prohibition of free speech. What’s going to slay me is that the group that bitched and moaned about twitter preventing free speech have turned it into a hellhole nobody wants to be in. Now they will come over and say the same about Blue Sky??? Guys - you can post your ridiculous nonsense on X… nobody is infringing on your right to free speech.

If you live in California, you have every right to say what you want even in privately owned spaces so long as they're regularly opened to the public. More states should be like this and enforce it

Such a law doesn't apply to a social media site [1].

It isn't that clear cut. If you are trying to say something on a forum and a bot farm immediately gives you a thousand downvotes, will banning those bots increase or decrease free speech on that forum?
