Is onetoughnerd.me protected by the 1st Amendment?
<p>I saw <a href="http://onetoughnerd.me" rel="nofollow noreferrer">a website</a> that appears to be making fun of Rick Snyder, and specifically his handling of the Flint Water Crisis and his Twitter handle. As the following log shows, it redirects to a URL shortener link with the word Flint Water, and takes the reader to an image of a glass getting filled with water.</p>

<p>I don't know who did it, but it showed up on a blog post as a newly registered site.  Is this a satire website that is protected under the 1st Amendment?</p>

<p>Of course it is protected by the first amendment.  Everyone in the US is protected by the first amendment.</p>
<p>It's possible that some statements published on the site might fall afoul of any of the well established exceptions to first amendment protection, but in general the site is protected.</p>
