      Demonstrably false foreign propaganda? Lies about the time, place, and results of elections? Medical advice that can be lethal if followed?

        Don’t forget revenge porn, which was already illegal but gets Republicans really mad when it’s of Hunter Biden but also taken down.

          It’s not “revenge porn” if the images have already been leaked. Just like it’s not espionage to report on information already leaked.

          You can say the same thing about any government power. Or about government just existing. Or about human beings just existing.

          Denying people the opportunity to act in bad faith isn’t a strategy, not even a bad one.

        Disagrees with whatever administration is in office. You can’t be short sighted with SCOTUS decisions. The Justices aren’t.
