First amendment rights are defined as a restriction on the government, not any criteria of the person:

>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It doesn't say who is allowed to speak, just that the government cannot interfere. (The fourteenth says that they can't interfere through third parties either.)

So this conspiracy between the DHS and tech companies is unconstitutional twice.

It looks like you've been using HN primarily for ideological battle. We ban accounts that do that, regardless of what they're battling for or against, because it destroys what HN is supposed to be for.
