  See the US Govt wouldn't do this because then they couldn't ban anyone for speech

    When has the US government banning someone for free speech ever a concern in the recent past ?

    If it is for official communications (weather alerts, subway running late) there is not much of a problem. I mean, “free speech” doesn’t include publishing a bogus weather report on weather.gov. People can go post fake weather reports at treehouse.social or some other mastodon server. Blocking might be a problem to second order. Say there is some climate denier who is just always saying that reports of 115F at the airport in Phoenix are false. Can the weather service block that person, even if means they can’t get weather alerts anymore?

      Why even accept replies in the first place for weather reports?
