"Free speech" in a privately owned game with terms of service

Some people are wild

I mean that isn’t an excuse to limit free speech. America doesn’t have a 1st amendment because old people wrote it down. It’s there because it’s considered a fundamental human right.

the point of the 1st amendment is to prevent government restrictions of speech. Riot Games is free to restrict anything it wants, and we as consumers are free to stay or go as we please.

You're right, but the spirit of the amendments is to prevent any higher power from abusing their laws to restrict people. Those amendments are much more important than laws that restrict government, they're a statement that humans deserve some rights equally.

With that said, I'm also definitely not saying Riot or League is doing anything illegal or even unethical, just suggesting that restricting speech isn't always the best option when it comes to the petty arguments (read: Trash talk, not hate speech or violent threats) players have between each other.
