Free speech? What is that Grandpa?

Journal by Runaway1956

"Hush child! Free speech is the reason you grew up without a grandma or your mommy or daddy! They all went to the Utah camps for demonstrating against the Democrat Party!"

Geeez, people, too bad we didn't have a disinformation board in the McCarthy days, huh? All those commies and socialists could have been put into concentration camps. Those radical black activists could have joined them. All the gay activists, a bunch of feminists, the free sex cultist hippies, and all the druggies. Don't forget the illegal aliens!!

    fairly substantial legal principles

    Like what? I'm not going to bother reading through what I've already written on the matter - which honestly already rebuts your assertion, but what would you be referring to that I've somehow missed for years?

    On the present case, Zurawik's outburst during the CNN show above, he cites no such substantial legal principle. It was just Musk and Zuckerberg are here to make money - not serve whatever higher cause he implied needed serving, Trump is bad, and Russians wouldn't have been able to steal the 2016 election for Trump, if it weren't for Zuckerberg taking his Ruble payments. And then made an empty appeal that we needed controls on this without specifying what form that would take.
