@Wetrix @jonah Getting pulled before Congress for starting a forum that turned into a white supremacy memelord and terrorism mill isn’t really the same thing as prior restraint, it’s just Congress reminding peeps that even anons can be yoinked in front of national news cameras and grilled about their thinky-thing malfunctions if their peers make a hobby of running and gunning Americans down. Imagine how long 8chan would’ve lived had it been an ISIS forum openly applauding attacks on U.S. soil

@digicana @jonah wouldn't that be the ultimate hypocrisy. The US taking down a forum because they applaud something yet have free speech written right in their own constitution 🤔🆓

@Wetrix @jonah I suspect if it’d been radicalized islamists on 8 Chan instead of radicalized racists quite a few of the posters there would have had Flowers By Irene vans parked in front of their homes on most days until the active cells were ID’d and shipped off to supermaxes and the site shut down. Believe it or not some speech is illegal in America (such as conspiring to murder people or encouraging an active shooter to kill even more people).
