There is a long-held observations about the right to free speech and yelling “fire” in a crowded theater is wrong. Granted theaters aren’t crowded right now because many/most have yet to open but the basic premise is valid, empty seats or not.
The former president with the “45” cufflinks says Facebook is wrong to not allow his remarks about the 2020 election results being phony and that he actually won.
This suggests that every election official in all 50 states failed to provide an accurate count. Now, most with a pulse say that’s stupid but this isn’t surprising because Mr. Mar-a-Lago doesn’t admit failure, although he once admitted he shouldn’t have used four-letter words in front of his mother. But the scary thing is in these days of non factual social media posts from a former president, there are followers who consider anyone suggesting he is wrong are part of “the liberal left” or “the deep state.”
Does the First Amendment allow stupidity?
Yes. Look at Tucker Carlson.
Does the social media platform have a say in what is true and what isn’t?
Yes (Tucker works for a TV network-a private enterprise). Social media, and some newspapers, go after his non-stop clown car rants.
This isn’t a test of the First Amendment. It’s a test of complete idiots believing something that isn’t true. We need shrinks more than we need firemen right now.
