I'm pretty sure that, in the USA, choosing to click ads would be protected under the first amendment.

You'd be wrong. Many people, even Americans, don't really understand that freedom of speech doesn't mean you can do and say anything you want regardless of the context or consequences.

I suspect the comment is a frustrated response to American courts declaring that all kinds of weird things are somehow protected as "speech", not an unironic endorsement of the practice.

Has a US government agency tried to stop anyone clicking ads?
