Let me predict how terror will end up being defined:
Promote storming the Capitol - No
Promote a free Palestine - Yes
Any fight against US oppression - No
- danShumway 6y agoThis is getting downvoted, probably because it's pushing an unrelated agenda, but there's an important principle here that both Democrats and Republicans don't seem to understand: at some point, the other party just 100% is going to seize control of the government. It is going to happen. Donald Trump's administration openly considered declaring BLM a terrorist group. I don't want someone like that deciding what does and doesn't count as neutral speech. That is a thousand times more dangerous to me than Facebook making the same decision. It is startlingly naive for people not to understand that terrorism laws and 'neutral-speech' laws will be used against causes they agree with. Republicans in particular are kind of jumping the gun by encouraging the government to get involved with speech literally during a period where they no longer control the presidency, or the house, or the senate.
