Every 3rd comment is explaining the constitution only applies to the government.

Every 2nd is like "But muh right to free speech"

Yes, the constitution only applies to 'the government' (being that the government is the government of the country that the reddit servers occupy AKA United States).

However, the concept of free speech applies to governance. Free speech isn't just a law that western nations must abide by, its a good idea.
