Why do the mods not obey the 1st Amendment?

[Dames & Games]

Certainly members of society whether that be irl or online we can agree to respect and uphold each others human rights, and those stated in the bill of rights. Why don't the mods uphold the same standards? Are they scared of freedom?

[Schindler's Lifts]

They do.

If you visited my house and started talking ♥♥♥♥ about me and/or my family, I can't get you arrested or imprisoned just for saying that. But I can ask you to leave my house.

The 1st Amendment only protects you from the government arresting or imprisoning you based on what you say. Private companies still have the right to bar you from their services if they don't like what you say.

knowing what the law actually says= against human rights, such a pathetic argument.

No one said anything about laws or what a law stated here. So far all i hear is pro censorship arguments

he simply said how it IS not how it SHOULD be.

So, you're against human rights?

Your human rights are not violated. You are free to say whatever you want. But nobody is obligated to give you a plaform for it.

So you're pro censorship according to your logic

The First Amendment, word for word, literally only cites that the government/congress cannot make laws from censoring you. Says nothing about businesses or people showing you the door if they don't like what you say.

it is not a public place in the same way some random street is, this site is owned by a private company.

I have no problem with such rules established by private corporations. "My house, my rules". You are still free to voice your opinion elsewhere.

Valve doesn't obey the U.S. constitution also. It's a private website.

valve isn't the united states government.

good luck in improving your reading comprehension in the future.

[Chaosolous]

Oh wow, this has never been discussed before.

Take a shot every time you see someone here who thinks a forum having rules is "A FREE SPEECH VIOLATION"

fun drinking game.

Private company operating in US Soil, that allows people from the public to discuss publicly, with this method of thinking we can be sure that the 1st amendment may be violated the same way as it were in the physical world, as if you go outside at all so there may be a experience issue on your part maybe?

Where does the first amendment say that a company cannot set rules on their property, open to the public or not?

D'you really think A) Steam being a private society .... care about that ? Really ? B) mods are very likely located somewhere between Malysia and Combodia or at best Algeria.

They are like "an amendment ? I wonder how it tastes like" or "an amendment ? I think i have one in my bag, just wait". Silly americans who thinks they are the world. Wolrd cup superbowl has the problem of being played in one country out of 180+ but being called "world cup".
