Follow the Law:
No posts or comments that violate laws in your jurisdiction or the United States.
Laws are coercive. They exist above and beyond the site rules. The site rules stipulate you follow the laws.
Both Laws and Rules are ultimately suggestions. It is up to the individual to decide to comply or not, and if they are willing to face the consequences.
In any case, since it still does not appear to be clear for you: your first amendment rights do not apply to this website. The first amendment is a contract between you and the US government. This site has its own, different contract.
