Snowden tweets that "Any interference with the right of the [Venezuelan] people to communicate freely must be condemned.

In thinking about the USA's First Amendment ("Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press .."), seems to me that SCOTUS should interpret the Amendment in a much broader light ("communicate freely") now that we have the Internet, telephones, and other means. We need the Internet bill of rights!

The law permits corporations (but not government) to abridge speech in any way they see fit, as we have seen so often on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media (thank God for the chans!). No longer are we restricted only to expensive printing presses or maybe the willingness of the local newspaper to print our letter to the editor in our attempts to reach the masses. Corporations and busybody SJWs push the censorship and PC themes "for our own good," and in the process then constrict our freedoms more and more.

I would like to see social media adhere to the same standards as old-fashioned phone conversations, where the phone company had no restrictions on speech unless you were harassing somebody or committing a crime (wire fraud). Corporations should not be able to censor political views or discrimination on the basis of ideology. The right of the people to communicate freely by any means should be paramount.
