As Anne was trying to point out, the 1st Amendment protects you from the Government, and more specifically, Congress: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Your 1st Amendment rights do not include the right to put your signs in your neighbor's yard, and by extension, to host your website on your neighbor's (or Amazon's) private infrastructure. This does not mean that I agree with Amazon's decision. There are a lot of implications to this. Thanks, Sabri Who now waits for another donotpay.com "confirmation".

As you can see by looking at your own quote, there is nothing about whether or not there actually is smoke or is a fire in the "crowded theater". Certainly the operators, owners, and builders of the Iroquois Theater all claimed that the exists were more than adequate and it was entirely the fault of the people who died from being crushed/trampled because they should have remained calm.

Re: shouting draft resisters, Parler
I think it is reasonably clear this was a reference to the Iroquois Theatre fire where 602 people died. Not at all. The actual quote is The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic. The Iroquois fire was unfortunately all too real. As soon as the US entered WW I the first amendment basically went out the window with the Espionage Act. Schenck was part of that. R's, John

One can advocate for or against "free speech" and whatever it may ultimately include or not include without having to invoke a specific United States legal framework which doesn't apply in many (most) contexts. Freedom of speech as a right of humankind has existed as a concept since long before the US did, the US merely enshrined in its constitution that the government should generally not infringe on it, with very limited circumstances in which it may do so. This is, in my opinion and that of others, a good thing. Where those lines are to be drawn is largely up to the courts, and is often the subject of debate among both jurists and laypersons. I guess my overall point here is this: there's no reason you can't say "free speech is an important right that we must protect" without invoking any specific legal doctrine, if that's what you believe. That statement can easily apply to any government agency, private corporation, public corporation, or individual citizen, and be broadly relevant. Once you invoke the first amendment, you're now limiting the context of your advocacy. On 1/11/2021 6:16 PM, Anne P.

Probably none. That metaphor was used by Justice Holmes in a now-discredited Supreme Court decision Schenck v. U.S., which was actually about handing out anti-draft leaflets during WW I. It was overwrought then and has never been a useful guide to free speech law. This seems a wee bit distant from Parler or TOS or Sec 230. R's, John
