Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Pennsylvania

1st amendment infringement

I petitioned a website that allows people to customize/design tshirts to print shirts for me. Nowhere on the site does it say anything about what can/cannot be printed. I designed two shirts and both were voided because of ''graphical content.'' However, their site has nothing pertaining to that subject anywhere. Simply ''Design what you want.'' I feel that they are directly infringing upon my right by not allowing me to have my tshirts printed that I designed. What rights do I have in this situation?

If the company is government owner or received any government funding, you may have an issue. However, if they are a privately own business, they can choose to do business with whomever they like.

good luck

None. They have a right not to contract with you.

you might want to take a look at Article 1 of the Pennsylvania Constitution where it mentions freedom of the press. From my reading it looks like what Benjamin Franklin wrote it. Notice freedom of the press doesn't imply a right to a press. That is you responsibility not your right.
