Since this seems to be a popular topic, I thought some would be interested in Jeffrey Rosen's opinion:

The future of free speech will be chosen by lawyers and businessmen at companies such as Google, Comcast and Facebook, not by politicians in Washington or the judicial system.
...

"The future of free speech will not be determined by a Supreme Court justice interpreting the first amendment, because the first amendment only binds government," Rosen said. "It does not bind Google, Comcast and Facebook."

We can discuss this without actually getting political (by focusing on technology and philosophy), so please do!
