That's not what the First Amendment says at all. It says that Congress cannot
|
|
say what can't be FoRKed. FoRK can establish any rules it wants. Similarly,
|
|
The New York Times gets to choose what news IT thinks is "fit to print." If
|
|
the Times chose not to print anything about, say, Rosie O'Donnell, it would
|
|
be exercising its First Amendment rights, just as much as it would be if it
|
|
chose to print something Rosie O'Donnell doesn't like. The necessary
|
|
corollary of the freedom to say/publish what one wants is the freedom to
|
|
refuse to publish or say what one doesn't like. The alternative is a
|
|
state-controlled press that reprints government press releases and calls them
|
|
news.
|
|
|
|
The question of what is or is not FoRKed is (except for libel or other
|
|
specific exceptions) not a matter of law, but a matter of what the
|
|
"publisher" (if any) decides or the "community" (if any) negotiates or does
|
|
as a matter of custom.
|
|
|
|
For my part, I'd rather people didn't use FoRK as a place in which to dump an
|
|
expression of their political beliefs.
