Hrm. Wasn't everyone saying a few years ago that "freedom to do X isn't freedom from consequences for doing X"? How is this situation any different? If you don't pay your rent, that's fine. Plenty of jurisdictions have suspended rent payments. But that you didn't pay your rent is a true fact. You either did or you didn't. It's part of history. It's a feature of objective reality. You can't stop people from remembering true facts and talking about them. You don't make a better world by suppressing information.

> Plenty of jurisdictions have suspended rent payments. Many jurisdictions where I am have suspended evictions for non-payment of rent, but not the rent payments themselves. Tenants are still liable for the rent and may be liable for additional interest. In the U.S., it would probably be unconstitutional for a government to just take away all the rents from landlords.
