You should have told him Kanye's 1st amendment rights were not being attacked, but it was rather being responded with other people's 1st amendment rights through the form of criticism. Like Barack Obama said, "he's a jackass."

The First Amendment only relates to the government and its citizens. All social media platforms are private businesses and are not required to abide by the US Constitution. Right-wing pricks feel entitled to spread their shit anywhere they want, and they are aggrieved when they get booted or their vile spew gets taken down. Crybabies like Elon Musk and Ye can throw their money around to buy a soapbox, but they are too stupid to realize that they are destroying the credibility of their purchases. (Parler never had any, but Ye's ownership will make it even more of a pariah.)

Did you tell him that if he gave a flying fig about facts he'd think Ye is a joke?

Sounds like your son could be being radicalized online. I'd keep an eye on that.

No more Andrew Tate for him.

1. The 1st Amendment means that the Government won't arrest or punish you for your speech. If you read the conversations that took place at the time our founding fathers were formulating the Bill of Rights, it was intended mainly to protect political speech; in other words, it guarantees citizens the right to criticize the government, or to advocate for a new government, without fear of reprisal. It also applies to other kinds of speech, but courts have been more willing to restrict non-political speech (such as pornography, libel, etc.) than they have political speech. In any event, it doesn't apply AT ALL, in ANY WAY, to whether a private citizen or a company decide they don't want to listen to you, or publish what you're saying. It only applies to the government. 2. As cuz803 so eloquently and succinctly put it, the proper response to his objection is that everyone else has the right to express their opinions, too, and if some people think Kanye is dangerous, or a bad person, or a political stooge, it is absolutely their right to express that view. If he object to that, he's the one that doesn't believe in free speech, and he's the one who's contributing towards turning our country into a dictatorship, not the people criticizing Kanye. 3. As meisiemeisie pointed out, this could just be relatively harmless, sophomoric thinking; but it also could be a sign that he's being sucked into the right-wing conspiracy theory / QAnon communities on the internet. If it's the latter, I hope you are able to identify it and stop it before he gets in so deep that he never gets out.
