The reality is that it’s probably much easier than you might think.

this is irrelevant. this isn’t about the US, this is about how the constitution works.

you’re not contributing, you’re acting like the courts make the entire thing invalid.

really productive “the courts exist”, great addition the conversation.

yes, that’s the point of the system.

you’re using the world jailed to mean arrested or charged, that’s now what we are talking about. anyone can be put in jail for no reason for 24 hours. that doesn’t mean much.

i never agreed that they jail people for exercising free speech. that’s not how this works.

you’re just making conjecture about how the US denies people free speech.

the point of those courts is to decide what is or is not free speech.

No one said the US can take actions on foreign soil. That is the opposite of what was said.

There is no difference between saying what the government must or or must not do. Both require legislative support to protect the rights. This is about the governments ability to execute that legislative support. You can be a copyright holder in the US, but if someone outside the US steals your copyright or IP, there is fuck all the government can do about it directly. The government can ensure you have free speech in it’s jurisdiction, it can not ensure you have a liveable climate within its jurisdiction. That is why the Constitution does not protect that right. You cant go to Saudi Arabia to protest then have the US protect your free speech, that’s not a thing.

I did not say that the US government does not provide protections beyond what the Constitution says, nor does any of the included things prove that it can not provide protections to freedom of expression, etc, inside of its own borders.

The US government will not jail you for exercising free speech. That’s what free speech is. The government can not censor free speech, and they do not. To protect your right to free speech, all the government needs to do is nothing.

Justifiable or not, it’s still not something that is in the control of the government exclusively.

This isn’t a US issue. No one’s Constitution can guarantee this.

And you’ve proven my point.

The rules in the Constitution are only relevant so far as they are within the ability of the government to provide. Outlawing slavery, the right to free speech, the right to vote, these can all be provided and protected by the government. The global climate can only be protected by ensuing that the rest of the world does not ruin the climate, in other words, the US would have to invade any country that endangers the climate for is citizens to ensure that right. This is why the Constitution does not provide he right to travel anywhere outside of US borders either.

active is about what posts have a lot of comments recently.

hot is completely useless because its filled with content that’s less than an hour old with virtually no comments. its very poor quality content.

its not about the instances, those are actually hindering growth by dividing communities across instances and defederating them. lemmy is basically several copies of reddit in a trench coat pretending to be a social network.
