Edit: Amazing, a perfect factual comment is downvoted.
- roflyear 3y agoI'm just saying there are times where you may want the government to be able to express opinions....
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoYeah, and no one is preventing that. There is a diff between opinion and force/blackmail disguised as opinion. "You have a fine shop here, would be a shame if it burned down". Syntactically, it is an opinion. But it is not just an opinion if comes from a mobster.
- caseysoftware 3y agoA government doesn't "express opinions" they "enact policy."
- evandale 3y agoNo? What!? Name a scenario in which the government would put forth an opinion on something.. governments, like corporations, can't have opinions.
- roflyear 3y agoSure. "We think that info may put someone on our security team at risk, can you please take it down?"
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoThat is not an opinion. It is a request at the best or a command when read pragmatically. Edit: Think about this. If it is just an opinion, they can say that in press releases and not communicate that in secret to social media companies.
- roflyear 3y agoIt's obviously not something they can say in press releases, but it also may not be factual (or provable). There are "we think" situations which are important.
- JackFr 3y agoThe daily White House press briefing is an excellent venue.
- roflyear 3y agoI don't think that gives them all the avenues to express things that may be important.
