When someone says “I’m legally prohibited from saying certain things,” you can’t reasonably expect then to detail those things. This is why censorship is so dangerous … especially in a society that presumes freedom of speech. There was a fascinating article (can’t find it) about the recipient of a NSL complaining to their congressman about being censored. Their congressman told them such censorship was impossible under the current law so they shouldn’t worry about it. They wanted to say “yes it’s possible, it’s happened to me.” But that would have been illegal. So it was impossible to convince their congressman to look into it, and therefore impossible to get the law changed.
