    I never thought I’d be siding with 4chan.

    Just to let you know I was never a 4chan user.

    Having Fedi folks agreeing with 4chan is not on my bingo card this year, or ever.

    I would normally be sympathetic to their stand except earlier this year when this first started, they called on Trump to use all available political leverages to prevent this and protect free speech. Calling on Trump to protect free speech is just absolutely ridiculous.

          None of us do. Most of us have started using VPNs ever since this law came into effect.

      Within reason. Libel, incitement to violence, hate speech, etc, should be illegal for obvious reasons

        There is an obvious reason why countries like Germany make a strong stance against any “trolling” nazi joke/imagery/salute.

        But America’s First Amendment seems to not understand that reason (or only understand when it is weaponized against communism, black people, trans rights and all the “woke culture” stuff)

          Like alot of things in the USA, laws are selectively enforced to protect the status quo.
