    But does it really matter if they provide real evidence that backs up their research?

      Yes, because you can still cherry pick results, studies, sources and skew data.

        This is where you use the scientific method to counter-argument their claims, not the court.

        Threatening to sue is just another attempt at censorship, ironic from someone so free speech.

      Their “evidence” is garbage. Their entire research is based on them saying that the word “groomer” is “hate speech”.
