AP is free to criticize what Trump does. That is free speech. Are you so fuking you have zero clue what constitutes free speech? And don't pretend now you actually give a fuk about free speech. You don't understand the concept of free speech and you do not support free speech, you bootlicking focking cockroach. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll let you take your pick. As I wrote earlier, it was the United Stated that originally decided to ban the swastika in Germany. Germans have followed our lead. For them it was the right decision. But even here there are good examples of when it should be banned. For example, a high school student isn’t allowed to be on most campuses wearing swastikas or other Nazi symbols, mostly because it’s regarded as disruptive. Do you agree or do you think that, in the name of free speech, anyone should be allowed to wear what they want at anytime and anywhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First of all, you lose immediately when you invoke school rules. Schools do not have all the constitutional protections Americans enjoy in their everyday lives. But yes, for the most part people should be able to wear what they want anytime and anywhere. It may not be the smartest thing to do but that's their choice. Just because a person CAN do something doesn't mean they SHOULD. That is a concept too many people in this country don't adhere to and is one of the main reasons this country is failing. Rights come with responsibility, and too many people fail on the responsibility side of that equation. But we don't remove the right just because some people don't use it responsibly.

TrailGuy 552 Posted February 18 Meta removed an advertisement earlier this month criticizing Elon Musk’s use of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to seize Americans' private information. "A single individual now controls sensitive U.S. data, risking our national security. Urge Congress to enforce strict oversight," read the rejected Facebook ad purchased by Ekō, a watchdog group that says it is committed to curbing corporate power. The ad linked to an online petition, which has received roughly 95,000 signatures, calling for "a massive public outcry demanding US lawmakers take action [against Musk and DOGE] before more damage is done."

jonmx 2,424 Posted February 18 19 hours ago, The Real timschochet said: But it also can create fear and violence, particularly in Germany. Suppression of free speech is what leads to violence. Violence is often a response to not being heard. Suppression of free speech also leads to authoritarianism. Just 4 years ago we were being locked down and dissent over our COVID policies were blacked out in our media and censored by all the major social media sites as directed by our government. Easily the low-point for free speech in our nation's history. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
