“The four plaintiffs in this case perfectly illustrate the indivisibility of the First Amendment,” said Lee Rowland, senior staff attorney with the ACLU, in a written statement. “In its zeal to avoid hosting offensive and hateful speech, the government has eliminated speech that makes us think, including the text of the First Amendment itself. The ACLU could not more strongly disagree with the values that Milo Yiannopoulos espouses, but we can’t allow the government to pick and choose which viewpoints are acceptable.”
