- talmand 15y agoBut the websites' free speech would be heard, it's just the issue is punishing people for hearing it after the fact. If we were talking about shutting down the sites to prevent people from hearing it then I would agree. An example would be you standing on the corner denouncing the government and the people walking by that heard your speech being arrested simply for hearing it, while you are left alone to continue your speech. Granted, the original statement is an idiotic one and a good indicator of the thought process of power-hungry fools who don't understand the purpose of law intended for the protection of the people.
