Last time I checked, Kamala Harris is neither a state nor President right now.
- flyingfences 6y agoRight, she was just in charge of bringing a state's cases against people and is likely about to become second in line for the Presidency.
- nullifidian 6y agoBoth states and Kamala can't limit speech due to the current SCOTUS absolutist consensus on the first amendment, but that doesn't mean they don't want to. If we are to judge from colleges' foray into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_code in the 90s, the entirety of FIRE jurisprudence in the last 2 decades, and FAANG workforces demanding more censorship, colleges being a pretty close approximation of liberal views on the freedom of speech, especially future views, the moment SCOTUS lifts its absolutism, there will be numerous regulations of speech in liberal jurisdictions, and then federally.
