Xbox Live breaks freedom of speech amendment

how about I sue Xbox Live for breaking the freedom of speech amendment by telling us what we can and can’t say

:)

 

[LOCKED] Denying a petition is against the Law

The first amendment says that the government can not prevent freedom of speech.

 

Losing Gun Rights

^ or freedom of speech or religion or any of the other important amendments and bill of rights. oh wait....

 

You wouldn't get very far. Freedom of speech does not apply to businesses like Microsoft since they're not part of the government.

 

You have the right to say whatever you want.

However, when you're using a service such as Xbox Live, you agree to the terms of use and the code of conduct. It's your account and you're responsible for it.

Failure to follow the rules and you're account is subject to suspension or ban.

Some food for thought below.

Communication suspensions are imposed due to inappropriate conduct during communication activities on Xbox Live. This suspension blocks an account from accessing any communication features on Xbox Live, including text messages, voice messages, video communications,
Skype on Xbox One, in-game chat, and party chat. Communications suspensions are issued for a specified temporary duration, often of 1, 7, or 14 days.

During a communications suspension the account may continue to access the Xbox Live service, including online multiplayer. At the conclusion of the suspension all communication functionality will be automatically restored.

Xbox Enforcement | How Do I

Xbox Live is your online gaming community. Help make it fun for everyone by following Microsoft’s Code of Conduct on Xbox Live. Here’s a simple guide for applying the Code of Conduct to Xbox Live behavior:

Think about how your Conduct and Content impact yourself and others on Xbox Live. Promote positive impact, avoid negative impact.

Negative impact can result in Consequences for you.

What are examples of content that is prohibited in Xbox Live?

(Note: the examples below are just a few examples of Content prohibited by the Microsoft Code of Conduct. Just because something isn’t on this list doesn’t mean it’s OK.)

Content that could harm or harass a person, including yourself, or an animal. For example:

Profane words or phrases

Microsoft Services Agreement

3. Code of Conduct.

b. Enforcement. If you violate these Terms, we may stop providing Services to you or we may close your Microsoft account or Skype account. We may also block delivery of a communication (like email or instant message) to or from the Services in an effort to
enforce these Terms or we may remove or refuse to publish Your Content for any reason.

Microsoft Services Agreement

 

This is what the First amendment says

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government
for a redress of grievances."

For your statement it says the GOVERNMENT shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. It says nothing about a private corporation on their servers policing there servers especially when you agreed to abide by the rules.

Think of it this way:

Microsoft wants live to be E for everyone.

Say you were to walk into Chuck E Cheese which is a kids place and supposed to be E for everyone just like the live services and started cussing at somebody and a worker at Chuck E Cheese asks you to leave would you then scream its my freedom of speech and
i will say anything i want?

No i didnt think so at that point it is the companies right to ask you to leave and at which point if you dont they would probably call the police and have you escorted off the property by the police.

 

I'm with you. I'm going to file a law suit against x box live services. It's a adult community and it's the internet. Who determines what's offensive, and what's bullying ? How is calling somebody a chicken different than calling them a bitch which is
by definition a female dog.

 

Xbox Live is a privately run network, and before you agree to join that network, Xbox Live tells you the rules and regulations that you need to adhere to. If you don't agree with these rules, you may not use the service.

There are many different places with rules in place that normally don't affect you otherwise.

For example, you're free to smoke going around the city, and if you're somewhere in the middle of the desert, no one will stop you to relieve yourself by peeing against a cactus or something like that.

However, if you enter a public train station, the local rules for that train station may forbid you to smoke and it's also not allowed to pee against the hotdog stand inside the building. The security guards of the train station will have all the rights
to throw you out.

Also learn what the "Freedom of Speech" is really about. The Freedom of speech prevents the government and police to stop saying your opinion. No one can (yet) arrest you for saying "Trump sucks" or "Trump is the best president of all time".

But the Freedom of Speech does not allow you to harass other users on Xbox Live.

But maybe the great Randall Munroe can explain that to you best in the form of a comic.

 

You're free to say what you want, but not free from consequences. Look at what happened to Roseanne Barr.
