But she does have freedom of speech on the Facebook.
I doubt it.

“But she does have freedom of speech on the Facebook.”
“I doubt it.”

Of course she doesn’t have freedom of speech on the Facebook. It’s a privately-owned business, and she agreed to their terms of use when she signed up. Frankly I would have revoked her membership too, for posting a call to commit violence.

People make the same mistake about radio stations , esp. college kids who think they can say anything they want on their college stations, like it’s their own personal first amendment playground. It isn’t.

When I was in college radio, we had to disabuse more than one snot-nosed punk of that erroneous notion, by revoking their air shifts. They didn’t understand that a radio station is a licensed broadcast entity subject to the license holder’s standards and FCC regulations (which are mostly technical).

They went around crying “censorship” instead.

using a telegraphic means to transmit incendiary comments in order to inflame the general public, ....not sure if that falls under free speech
