For many of the online sites
where you may think free speech is protected, you’re required to
contractually agree to limit your free speech rights. You actually
don’t have the same right to free speech that you would in a truly
public forum.
This is true of Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and pretty much all the
major social media sites I’m aware of. Review their Terms of
Service and see for yourself.In most cases the restrictions are
reasonable and maybe even necessary for maintaining a quality
service. It depends on who’s running the service.
While it may seem that you’re entitled to free speech just the same
as you would in a public forum, in actuality you waived that right
when you joined the service. That was a condition of your
registration. Many online services also include some kind of
catch-all clause which basically gives them the right to censor you
however they see fit.
For example, Twitter’s Terms of Service includes the following
sentence: “We reserve the right at all times (but will not have an
obligation) to remove or refuse to distribute any Content on the
Services and to terminate users or reclaim usernames.” So according
to those terms, they can nuke your account and content whenever
they want.
