Most public colleges and universities have social-media blacklists that violate the First Amendment, according to a report by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
And they're being helped by Facebook.
"There's no social media exception to the First Amendment," said Adam Steinbaugh, who wrote FIRE's new report. "Government actors cannot sanitize public discourse — whether it’s President Trump blocking Twitter critics or American colleges filtering dissent on their social media accounts. By selectively eliminating particular viewpoints, universities are violating the First Amendment."
