If i found out who you were in real life, and lets say I had a big platform, and started writing "satire" about you to spreading rumors, you just have to deal with it? I can hide behind the idea I'm calling it satire with no repurcusion?
Like sticking with the Halloween theme, "Mensetmanusman's neighbors are unsure if the screams are Halloween decorations, or another child locked in his basement this year"
I can write stuff like that, because lets say I want people to start thinking you are the kind of person that tortures kids for what ever reason, call it satire, and be protected?
- mensetmanusman 3y agoYep, that's the trade off of the first amendment.
- tayo42 3y agoYou know this isn't a first ammendment issue? The government isn't involved.

- ilikehurdles 3y agoNo one’s fundamentally obligated to impose repercussions on you for such speech, and the first amendment protects those that choose to publish your speech from any government repercussion.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoif someone asks if you should "do something" about someone else's speech, that implies the full force of the law.
