The US, as with most States, cares little about the UDHR. The only human rights you have are those that the government suffers too strong a penalty to disrespect, and there is no real penalty for running foul of the UDHR.

It's sad, but it is what it is.

Treaties in the United States only have force through ratification. The USA ratified this declaration only with a suite of reservations that "the provisions of Article 1 through 27 of the Covenant are not self-executing" and they were quite clear that "the Covenant will not create a private cause of action in U.S. Courts."

So the UDHR doesn't mean anything in the US. Even if it did, the broad protections for private property rights could be interpreted to mean that UDHR allows internet companies to drop anything from their private property that they don't feel like hosting for any reason at all.

> (1) Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others. > (2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property.

Well the first amendment isn't Article 19 of the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Not sure where you're going with that.

The point is that speech hosted on "new frontiers" is protected by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, regardless to whether or not it's protected by the First Amendment.

Hey, wanna guess what international human rights declaration the US is not a signatory of?
