  Unintended Consquences

  on Content Moderation Case Study: Russia Slows Down Access To Twitter As New Form Of Censorship (2021)

  Wouldn't this just slow down their troll farms distributing misinformation?

  Are they threatening the rest of the world with a good time?

  on Senator Klobuchar Proposes An Unconstitutional Law That Would Kill Legions Of People If Trump Were Still President

  So this is something I've been toying with.

  Either the 1rst and 2nd amendment shall not be infringed/abridged and its a Binary matter, or they can both have reasonable restrictions placed on them in specific circumstances.

  Trying to explain to a 1rst amendment "no compromise" individual how their want to punish Social Media companies for kicking people off its platform ties into the 2nd amendment, and that they are hypocritical for arguing for one and not the other. Requires to many mental gymnastics.

  I agree that this law is too vague and could be abused, its a bad law, but we have other restrictions on speech like Yelling fire in a crowded area, just as we have restrictions on Firearms. One could also say that Firearm safety training is part of the 2nd amendment in maintaining a militia.

  It's unreasonable restrictions that need to be watched. This being one of them.

  Allowing it (as Sean S)

  on Ousted Educator Tries To Talk Appeals Court Into Letting Him Sue Someone For Things Someone Else Said
  I think this should be allowed to go through and get precedence going for the idea that shit like this does not hold water. We have congressman that think that websites should be held responsible for what other people say on them, this needs to make national news for the sole purpose of deterring more people, and if it drains the finances of an idiot, so much the better.

  In this climate (as Alfonnze)

  on Iowa Supreme Court Apparently Unfamiliar With First Amendment And Prior Restraint: Bars Newspaper From Publishing Info
  In the climate where you have Roy Moore who almost won a senate race, who was removed from his supreme court twice. This makes perfect sense

  Heisenberg's encryption principle (as Sean S)

  on Latest DOJ WTFness: Encryption Is Like A Locked House That Won't Let Its Owners Back Inside
  He seems to have stumbled on Heisenberg's encryption principle in which the better the encryption the data, the less access to law enforcement and criminals, and vice versa. The data can't exist in both an unencrypted and secure state at the same time.
