That if there actually is a fire, not sounding an alarm is negligent homicide, and stopping someone from sounding an alarm is second degree murder if anyone dies in the ensuing fire.
Re: No. Context is always: FALSE report intended taken for real.
The problem is that the origin of the quote about shouting fire wasn't a false report.
The guy it was said about was an anti-war protestor distributing pamphlets asking people to vote to change the laws that permitted mandatory military service. That's it.
If it were in fact illegal to do that sort of thing, then it would be impossible to run for any elected office that had an incumbent, because it would be sedition against the existing official.
Considering that net neutrality had strong bipartisan support as well as congress-critters on both sides opposing net neutrality, your comment at best makes no sense, and at worst makes you a partisan shill.
Antifa are anti-Trump, and about as violent as German Brown Shirts in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Which is ironic given they claim to be literally anti-fascists.
Widespread bipartisan opposition to a proposition plus opening an easily accessed internet poll on the subject equals LARGE number of responses.
Every time a game company releases a new expansion, they increase their server capacity. This is no different, yet the only ways to explain the FCC's CIO not accounting for this sort of surge is if he's so naive and out of touch with reality he bought into Pai's propagandist claims completely -- or Pai stopped him from adding capacity.
Neither one is a situation where the person responsible should keep their job.

One could even argue that any REPLY to one of his comments means he himself facilitated the reply. Without Section 230, he himself might get sued for something someone said in reply to his comment!
I wonder -- would His Dishonor consider an injunction against a person posting handbills on the town bulletin board in the town square to be a prior restraint of free speech?
I suspect not. How on Earth does someone graduate from law school -- to say nothing of passing the bar or becoming a judge -- without even being aware that the Constitution exists?
I flagged your post, Stephen, because by your own logic, you should be banned. No matter what you say or how you say it, someone somewhere will object to it, and call it trolling or hate speech.
It was never illegal to remove tags from mattresses you've purchased for your own use. The confusion about those tags stems from the fact it's illegal for a retailer to remove them.
