You would rather not be able to tell who is and isn’t racist in your society? If someone is prone to racist remarks that should be noticed and their thought process/moral failings should be addressed. If you simply…

It is legal in the US to yell fire in a crowded theater. It is not legal to intentionally create a false emergency situation, verbally or otherwise. Similar to threats, it’s not the speech that is illegal but the intent…
Threats are prosecuted as intent to commit another crime, not ‘u said a naughty word.’ That’s why slogans such as “kill all men” would never lead to legal conviction in the US (they might in the UK!) More importantly,…
Lol what did I say that was ‘heated’? Your first reply to me was a defense of street violence against me. Threatening violence is a whole different topic and these laws encompass a lot more than “imminent violence” so…
Exactly, the ‘freedom’ to know what other people actually think about you is essential. By silencing others you’re simply depriving yourself of your own right to hear them out.
The article is about government legislation.
Sounds kind of racist to imply minorities will attack me with street violence if I say words they don’t like. I’ll have to report this to the authorities mate, hope you’re not a big football fan. Edit: you stealth…
It actually does precisely mean freedom from legal consequences, yes.
That or the fact that google massively profits off the presence of ads in mobile apps.

And yet we’re left to guess exactly what Twitter deemed us unworthy of reading. The opaqueness of the censor is a feature not a bug.

Could be a good trade for making DC part of Maryland, thereby giving DC statehood.

I assume they'll use a lightweight trap cage loaded with food that's laced with some kind of tranquilizer. Then after the cage is dropped just come back and fly it out. Anything else seems pretty risky to me.
Glad you agree you and Mounk have both made assumptions u can't back up.
I was rate limited. You brought up timeframe (and many other conditions) as a rebuttal to the author. I'm just pointing out that you can't be sure that any of those considerations even entered the minds of MIT's admins.…
That's what you think, but I'm asking who at MIT has taken that position re timeframe that you have evidence of?
