Is Bernie Sanders using the Steemit platform to breech the 1st Amendment of the American constitution?

Freedom of Speech / Freedom of the Press

"The most basic component of freedom of expression is the right of freedom of speech. The right to freedom of speech allows individuals to express themselves without government interference or regulation. The Supreme Court requires the government to provide substantial justification for the interference with the right of free speech where it attempts to regulate the content of the speech. Generally, a person cannot be held liable, either criminally or civilly for anything written or spoken about a person or topic, so long as it is truthful or based on an honest opinion, and such statements...

...Despite popular misunderstanding the right to freedom of the press guaranteed by the First Amendment is not very different from the right to freedom of speech. It allows an individual to express themselves through publication and dissemination. It is part of the constitutional protection of freedom of expression. It does not afford members of the media any special rights or privileges not afforded to citizens in general."

I believe he is bringing the platform of Steemit into disrepute.

I could go on and on but I hope the above is enough to build a clear picture.

Oh and lets not forget the likes of @mitrado who have been flagged into minus ratings.
Please have a look at his posts to see if he deserves it?

    Unbelievable. This whale with gazillion steemit accounts must be a raving idiot, or why else would he sabotage the ship he travels in? Braindead anyone? However there are several whales operating in steemit and only this one is on a suicide mission it seems.
