It isn't banning a form of speech, but a form of distribution.
Consider this: If I wrote "Obama sucks" on a note and posted it on my own bulletin board, it would be perfectly legal. If I got a can of spray-paint and sprayed it on your house without your consent, that's illegal. The content of my message has no bearing on whether my distribution method is legal.
- Joakal 16y agoI believe if you write "Obama will die" on a note and post it. The SS will visit you. If you live in another country, and send just a simple angry email to White House, they'll ban you from USA[0].
