#33I guess America cares about India's human rights record now that India is trading with Russia and doesn't back Ukraine unconditionally. You coud totally see this coming once India started trading with Russia. The Indian government, and especially the current government, has been treating muslims terribly for years. But the American establishment didn't have a problem with it until India declared they wouldn't go alon…

Isn't that the US free speech ideal? Didn't the ACLU use to defend the right of KKK members to hold rallies for exactly this ideal?
let me understand this right holding rallies / calling violence are synonyms to one another all comes under free speech ?
What do you think the KKK would do at those rallies? Share cookies?

Facebook is a private communication party.... they can be screaming their lungs out on the streets, if their goverments allow it.
I didn't talk about the law, but the ideal.

This was actively discussed in the US prior to March 2022, so I don't understand how you can hold that belief.
It was "actively discussed in the US", therefore certain opinions are no longer possible?

In what way is that "policing"?
In many parts of the world Facebook is synonymous to Internet. If you can't post on Facebook, you're pretty much toasted as a public figure.
