Viewpoint discrimination is a concept in United States jurisprudence related to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. If a speech act is treated differently by a government entity based on the viewpoint it expresses, this is considered viewpoint discrimination.^{[attribution needed][excessive citations]}

Cases

In the Albanese case, Judge Richard Leon accepted, among other things, the arguments of those who considered it likely that the sanctions against Francesca Albanese were motivated by her political opinions: the judge stated that “Albanese has done nothing more than speak”.
