Why does the First Amendment matter today?

It protects people’s right to say whatever they want even if it threatens public safety.
It protects people’s right to own and use weapons for the defense of self and family.
Without it, people could not share ideas freely on the Internet without risking arrest.
Without it, people could not seek protection from police or the military for anything.

Answer:

Without it, people could not share ideas freely on the Internet without risking arrest

Step-by-step explanation:

The first amendment is about free speech, freedom of religion, etc. However, it doesn't protect against hate speech or other inflammatory speech, such as that which threatens public safety.
