AOC gathered all that from a 'peek'? Lol. She's not a journalist with well-researched revelations. She's a politician gathering steam to censor twitter/X contrary to your constitution. Why are people applauding this? Do you really want the govt to be the arbiter of truth?
You've been reported as a troll and judging by how people are reacting to your posts, I think many agree. I'm not going to remove your comment, because there is great discussion counteracting what you're saying. I am going to ban you for a couple of days though. If you come back trolling, I'll ban you permanently. Thanks for understanding.
Gotta say, I don't read their posts as trolling. Perhaps some mildly trollish language in the first comment, but in the context of their further responses they do seem to have a critical but genuine and insightful perpective on the topic at hand.
Many countries around the world have been experiencing legislative overreach brought in under the guise of prohibiting racism/violence/antivax/etc, but written to effectively create a framework for suppressing any protest and discourse which any government of the day (and by extension their sponsors) can use to crack down on whatever they define as wrongthink.
That kind of predicted result strongly prompts the need to wrack our collective minds in search of a better solution, which I believe the commenter was trying to encourage.
I only banned him for a day. He can definitely have that opinion and have measured responses while not being aggressive and trying to get the other person to start arguing. I did hesitate, but like I said, it's only for a day and I'm trying to keep the trolls from seeing this place as a fertile ground. If they're genuine, they'll understand.
