Answer:

It is against the First Amendment rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is because according to the first amendment, it states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." This means that there should not be any laws that should interfer one's freedom of expression, which is through religion practices, speeches, press (such as conventions, public meetings, etc), and publications (such as news, and other media platforms, and other ways of which we express ourselves through society. The reason why it is still allowed, because there are not additional laws in place that help protect the first admenment adenquately.
