This way of naming laws is incredibly childish.
- appleflaxen 9y agoon its face it's pretty stupid: acronyms that are so contrived (or worse, misleading) that you have to shake your head when you hear them. but there is at least a little bit of value to having a brief, specific name to use when referring to it that somehow relates to the topic at hand.
- Analemma_ 9y agoSpeak for yourself, I like it. I mean, the whole reason the SPEECH Act exists is to be a “fuck you” to countries like the UK with plaintiff-friendly libel laws trying to get those judgements enforced in the US, so the immature name is kind of fitting.
