The United States' Bill of Rights describes the limits that the government may place on on the people. The First Amendment indicates that government may place no limits on the right of the people to express themselves. There is no law, in the Bill of Rights or otherwise, that describes what individuals or corporations may choose to limit in the way of expression. In simpler terms, I pay to lease space on private servers. I allow people to use a discussion board on this private server, and they may continue to use that discussion board at my pleasure. At any time, for any reason or for no reason at all, I can bar any of those people from using that server, as it is private property. This is much as you have the right to allow people to enter your home freely for a party, but you also have the right to bar anybody from that party for any reason. Another analogy is spam. Spammers do not have the right to spam freely, because you foot the bill for your Internet service. In short, spammers obligate you to pay for their free speech. People are free to say what they want, but you cannot be forced to foot the bill for that speech. As should now be evident, you have no right to express yourself without limitation on the discussion boards or, for that matter, on any other discussion boards. If that is a problem for you, start your own website. |
