The speech isn't illegal.
In this case someone is indicating that in the past they've sexually assaulted someone.
The speech is just evidence pointing towards the act, and the act is the problem.
- dredmorbius 10y agoMy point isn't that the speech is illegal. It's that there are vast huge classes of criminal conduct which, merited or otherwise could almost certainly be applied against virtually anyone you cared to, with pervasive audio monitoring and search. Cardinal Richelieu wrote some six lines or so on this subject. You should look them up. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Cardinal_Richelieu https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Cardinal_Richelieu (Or perhaps not, the authenticity is, as many things are, disputed. But he carries the blame. Which is perhaps the most poetic justice of this point. Or is it injustice. Words, words, words.)
