Why is speech plus protected?
The courts have generally provided strong protection of pure speech from government regulation. Speech-plus involves actions, such as demonstrating or protesting, as well as words. Speech-plus is not generally protected as strictly as is pure speech, because actions can be physically dangerous.
What restrictions on First Amendment guarantees do you find acceptable?

Does Twitter want to enforce censorship?
Today Twitter wants to enforce murky censorship policies and crack down on the free speech of its own users for holding differing opinions. And while it is political tension that has brought the issue of censorship to the fore, free speech goes far beyond partisan politics.
How to stop Twitter from marking media as sensitive?
To stop Twitter from marking media you upload as sensitive, choose menu > Settings and Privacy > Privacy and Safety. Ensure “Mark Media You Tweet as Containing Material That May Be sensitive” is unchecked. This option is available on the web and in the Android app but not in the Twitter app for iPhone and iPad.
Why can’t I see sensitive content on Twitter?
By default, Twitter restricts this media with a warning like, “This media may contain sensitive material,” “This profile may include potentially sensitive content,” or “The following media includes potentially sensitive content.” If you don’t have a Twitter account, you’ll need to create one and sign in to change this setting.
Why do I need to adjust my media settings on Twitter?

If you intend to regularly post such content, we ask that you please adjust your media settings. Tap your profile icon in the top left navigation bar. Tap Settings and privacy.
