Ah yes illegal according to those laws handed down by the king.

Indeed, and your sarcastic attempt to malign his majesty is a clear act of terrorism. I can only hope some federal PATRIOTS pay you a visit ASAP.

How is this anything other than a flagrant violation of her constitutional right to free speech? This is the government suppressing her speaking the name of the executioner, which was already publicly published. If I was her, I would be launching a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the government for a violation of constitutional rights.

Was it against the law for them to ASK that she remove her post? In essence, it was a request, coupled with an unrelated statement about the illegality of interfering with federal officers. Yes, it was an attempt to intimidate her, but she recognized it for what it was and did not cave in.

Doxxing has many forms, and I agree that she did nothing wrong by citing the news source with the officers name, and offering her opinion. They did not detain or arrest her, and she agreed, and even invited them to speak with her.

This whole thing is a non-story.

I remember the good ole days when the White House would coordinate with former employees that got jobs with SV companies in their "online safety" orgs and would just ban or shadowban people. Less legally suspect because it was action by private companies.

Which of the 12K arrests do you not agree with? Or are you saying people should be free to write whatever they want on social media with no repercussions?

>Or are you saying people should be free to write whatever they want on social media with no repercussions? no repercussions from the government , yes, people should be free to write whatever they want

I don't think this is actually your view, though. I can't imagine that you think harassment or violent threats are things that should have no repercussions.
