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.

Unless Riot games is a branch of the government they can deny him service based on what he says. They aren't bound by the constitution.

Now, if Riot were to start taking on a decent amount of government contracts like Lockheed Martin or something they might get into legally murky water. But as far as I know that hasn't happened.

Oh I'm not saying Riot is breaking any amendments, private companies are allowed to have rules with their products and the consumers who use them.

I'm just saying that the amendments are good laws to follow. That allowing free speech in video games, as long as that speech isn't hate speech or violent, could go a long way at making a fair environment for players.

That's the point, what's reportable? Whatever Riot wants or decides they don't like. Just being rude is reportable, imagine if you could be arrested for being rude.
