Exactly what do you think Law and precedent is, Brumar? It's the Legislative and Judicial branches of GOVERNMENT. That's what it's for to clarify the nuances of the Constitution. Freedom of Speech is not just something in the Constitution. It has a massive amount of related case law and precedent strengthening it over the years. In fact, there are multiple cases related to digital media that are working their way to the Supreme Court right now. Eventually, case law and SC interpretation will catch up to technology, but we're no there yet. Here's an article on some of these subjects: Can the First Amendment Survive the Digital Age? The newspaper and broadcast companies that championed speech and press rulings of the 20th century don’t have the power or financial strength they once did. The dominant technology companies have not shown that same kind of stewardship of the First Amendment.... What will expanding business rights mean? A series of First Amendment rulings sought by private corporations has freed them from limits in such areas as advertising, ingredient listings and political contributions. About half of the successful First Amendment appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court today focus on corporate rights — a big change from previous decades, according to a survey of a half-century of court decisions by Harvard law professor John Coates. Some say that the expansion of any speech rights serves all comers. Others say this shift goes against the intent to protect the rights of citizens against powerful government and corporate interests.... The First Amendment did not find its place at the core of our rights without many struggles over two centuries. Sunshine Week is a good time to remember there are fresh battles ahead.
