> Netflix is GDPR compliant although that almost definitely violates the first amendment

Can you explain what you mean by this point? AFAIK the First Amendment is a US thing and GDPR is something Europeans wanted.

It doesn’t, any more than Facebook or Twitter can, as non-government actors, censor Americans. There are some lobbying groups which push the argument that any sort of accountability is a free speech violation but that’s rhetorical ammunition not to be confused with a sound legal argument.
