I love Randell but he was never right on that issue.

The United States Constitution doesn't own the concept of free speech. The concept existed before the constitution was written, it will exist after the usa falls.

While he is correct, in that somebody arguing a social network site censoring them has validated the first amendment, is fucking stupid.

He is not correct in arguing that all references to free speech refer to the 1st amendment, and the fact that the 1st amendment only applies to government censorship doesn't restrain the broad concept of free speech to only applying to government censorship.
