That world doesn’t make sense. Clearly you want Instagram and TikTok to censor some speech. Just not yours. Unclear why you think that you and not the social media site gets to decide what stays and what goes. And why a pornographer doesn’t have the same decision making power as you.
And if you go back to a time before the internet, this nonsense gets even worse. How are publishers supposed to be forced to print your content? Printing isn’t free. Publishers only do it with carefully selected or in-house written content that they are certain will generate income. Your supposed right would make it impossible to be a publisher—you’d go bankrupt printing crazy manifestos that no one wants to read.
According to the Supreme Court, freedom of speech (and all of the other rights in the Bill of Rights) are explicitly NOT absolute rights. If your speech directly causes harm to another, then laws can be made to restrict or prevent that.

That’s not how it works.
Even protests or other forms of political speech are still subject to a time/place restriction. You can’t block a freeway whenever the fuck you want, because you feel that strongly about your political ideology and want others to pay attention.
Fraud, false advertising, libel, child pornography, conspiracy to commit a crime, inciting a riot, excessively loud noise outside of daytime, copyright and trademark infringement. These are some of the one or two dozen laws that infringe on an “absolute” right to free speech.
Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support.
I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized.
he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that.
he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened.
he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence.
i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me
i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction.
after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly.
things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it.
we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe …
our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far?
this has upset me so much its hard to even function.
And that’s just covering the laws that the government is allowed and not allowed to make. Be aware that the right is actually the government shall not pass laws that infringe on free speech. Nowhere in that right is there a right to compel publishers (including social media) to publish your speech and expressions. If there were such a right, Facebook would look exactly like 4chan. Because porn, ultraviolent content, hate speech, and whatever else could—by this hypothetical right—not be banned.
Internet users show an outrageous amount of entitlement. They feel entitled to have the audiences that were built by Facebook and the rest. They feel that somehow being forced to create your own website is insufficient for their right of free expression; that instead they can use someone else’s website. That their rights are infringed if content that offends the website owner is taken down.
