    I’m conflicted. On one hand, I’m American and believe in free speech. On the other hand, I want assholes to be held accountable for lying.

    So conflicted.

      America is already censoring free speech indirectly. Censorship from platforms. Shadowbans. Now even directly arresting and deporting it.

      But look at Julian Assagne or Edward Snowden to see the myth of free speech.

        Can we skip to the part where Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, Farage, Wilders, Musk, Le Pen, the ICE agent that lives down the street, Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc etc etc get what they deserve please?

        It doesn’t seem to have happened yet.

        Usually due to laws rules and regulations holding their words/actions to account…
