Comment on Relooted - Game made by South Africans has been bombarded by right-wingers
cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 6 days agoFree speech issues are not relevant because it’s a private company. Free speech is about limiting the government’s ability to control speech, companies are always free to do so for their own reasons on their own platforms. While that can be problematic when you don’t know whether the government is leaning on the companies behind the scenes, what the first amendment is really written to prevent is the overt fascist gestapo tactics the Trump administration is now using to bully their critics.
It is important to understand the constitution and why it was written, so people can act accordingly. It’s especially important when the government is not acting accordingly.

I was using the term in a very broad sense. Think of it as more of an "off the cuff" remark.
