Isn't that the US free speech ideal? Didn't the ACLU use to defend the right of KKK members to hold rallies for exactly this ideal?

Facebook is a private communication party.... they can be screaming their lungs out on the streets, if their goverments allow it.
I didn't talk about the law, but the ideal.
No, compelling a company to host speech it doesn't agree with is not the free speech ideal.
let me understand this right holding rallies / calling violence are synonyms to one another all comes under free speech ?
What do you think the KKK would do at those rallies? Share cookies?
Even in the US with its exceptional.free speech laws, calls for violence or.murder are outlawed.
The ACLU was stupid for defending the KKK and I'm glad they've wised up.
