They sure are trying though.
China keeps their people under tight control with regards to the internet.
We need to keep that in mind as Congress pushes bills to "protect" us in that area.
It's illegal in some states to insult, disparage, or to annoy others, without using your real name.
Local politicians got tired of people making comments about them anonymously since its hard to get them audited, or fired if you don't even know who they are.
The founding fathers didn't have such technologies when they gave freedom of speech.
I guess critical thinking is no longer part of the public education system's curriculum.
From Marcus Aurelius, Meditations Book 8
"This thing, what is it in itself, in its own constitution? What is its substance and material? And what its causal nature (or form)? And what is it doing in the world? And how long does it subsist?"
Speech is communication. The medium of communication -- verbally, with sign language, body language, a book, a newspaper or other periodical, the internet, the airwaves --- matters not.
Must two people be embraced to communicate? At arm's length? In the same room? How distant must two people be to communicate, 10 meters? 25 meters? 100 meters? 300 meters? In the same political subdivision? In the same State? On the same continent? Or even on the same Planet?
Are you suggesting that when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were on the Moon, the were not communicating with people on Earth?
I sure hope not, because that would be absurd.
Perhaps you should consult with an attorney about suing your school district for fraud or breach of agreement or something, because you got ripped off.

Technically...

I'm pretty sure the OP was being sarcastic. Many on the Left said only muskets were available when the 2nd A was written, therefore they meant muskets.
In fact, free speech is regulated (despite of absolutely no mention of "regulate" in the first amendment).
too bad you still dont understand what "regulate" mean. ask a gunsmith what "regulate a firearm" means and you will get a different answer than to make laws against it.
