Probably none. That metaphor was used by Justice Holmes in a
now-discredited Supreme Court decision Schenck v. U.S., which was
actually about handing out anti-draft leaflets during WW I. It was
overwrought then and has never been a useful guide to free speech law.

This seems a wee bit distant from Parler or TOS or Sec 230.
