Jenna Abrams and the 1st

juan_gandhiI hear strange (to me) talks about Trumpists constraining the 1st by fighting fake Russian-made accounts on Twitter and Facebook (livejournal is doomed anyway).
See why I find it strange.
1st is about, in particular, freedom of speech. This right, as well as other rights, is (arguably) appicable only to humans. Not bots. Not corporations.
I know, there are some ideas about corporations' rights of speech. I don't share them. Corporations are not humans, they are closer to robotic creatures.
There are also rights of animals, but I don't think the right of a crow to scream or the right of a dog to bark was ever protected by any law; on the contrary. The rights of airplanes to make a lot of noise also does not exist. Kind of.
Arguably, we can see a suit by a Mexican-American community to defend their right to sing a song at midnight. Literally, the 1st seems to protect it.
But not the rights of non-existent entities.
E.g. Allah has no protected right to tell us how to behave. Neither has Jesus, or Lord Krishna.
Same thing about Jenna Abrams and all those fake creatures from St.Petersburg.
Of course there is a problem with anonymous bloggers from countries with dictatorships. I don't think 1st meant giving these people unconditional protection. But I'm not a lawyer.

Наше восприятие запрограммировано хз где. Вот проблема. Мы просто не понимаем ни ситуации, ни шуток.

1) Мои коллеги, перебравшиеся в Ирландию из Прибалтики, на мой вопрос - а что ж вы не в США, отвечали в духе "В Совке я уже жил, больше не хочу".
2) Я сейчас работаю с некоей системой управления персоналом от нью-йоркской конторы. И честно говоря, меня она ужасает. Не только своей кривизной, а какой-то лютой, необыкновенно въедливой регламентацией работы персонала. В духе "пошёл в туалет - нажми кнопку". Мне, выросшему в свободе 90х и ранних нулевых, все эти регламенты, учёт и куча граф - для меня оно выглядит дико. Зачем такой подробный учёт? Как без него-то работали? Что, сильно хуже работали? Оно мне напоминает типографские листки статучёта, которые в РФ сохранились с советских времён и которые никто не заполняет, но собирать их требуют. Вот именно что - Совок.
