The constitution? Lol, that's so 20 years ago.
Ah, we finally see the cancel culture that republicans have been whining and crying about for a decade and, to the absolute surprise of no one, it's coming from the republicans.
How dare they protest genocide. We must unleash the full wrath of anti-free-speech policies while whining about fact-checks of blatant misinformation being anti-free-speech
I was told I wouldn't be fact checked and that I get to keep my Swingline stapler...
Translation: Republicans don't want protests contained to one place. Or, they believe out of sight, out of mind. You can't legislate moral positions.
Unless it's a protest they do then it has to be seen by all :/
You can't legislate moral positions.
*The republican party of the last 80 years*: "You fuckin what?"
Even in their worst excesses, any legislation cannot change a deeply held moral position. Oh they can try, but the best (worst) they can do is legislate action and communication.
This is just a line item on their war on public education. They are always looking to ~~scrape back any money that could go in their pockets~~ save the taxpayers money.
Whoa whoa whoa, I thought Republicans were all in favor of zero censorship...?
They are. That's why Lonnie had to buy that shitty website and kick a bunch of Left-leaning accounts off. And jump around like an idiot. Don't you feel your speech is protected yet?
(shut up, it's sarcasm)

- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
