By asking.
The government asking you to do something is like a dangerous schoolyard bully asking for your lunch money. Except the gov has the ability to kill, imprison, and destroy. Doesn’t matter if you’re an average Joe or a Zuckerberg.
- Terr_ 2y agoSo it's categorically impossible for the government to make any non-coercive request or report for anything because it's the government? I don't think that's settled law. For example, suppose the US Postal Service opens a new location, and Google Maps has the pushpin on the wrong place or the hours are incorrect. A USPS employee submits a report/correction through normal channels. How is that trampling on Google's first-amendment rights?
- habinero 2y agoAny proof that they were threatened? I've never seen any.
