- throwawa14223 1y agoYes the government should just not say anything but this is not dependent on X existing or not existing.
- bix6 1y agoSo the current government will stop talking as well then?
- throwawa14223 1y agoThis is a step towards that which is a step in the right direction.
- cryptonector 1y agoThe government is allowed and required to say things about the current state of the law (i.e., they must publish the law, and they may educate the public about it, and they must enforce it). The government is not required and perhaps should not be allowed to say anything promoting specific political opinions or promoting specific Acts that have not passed yet. By "say" you [I think, and therefore] I mean as in publish with taxpayer money, because naturally elected officials and even appointees should be able to speak with anyone, even interviewers, and publish on their own dime as long as they don't do anything to prevent the opposition also speaking in that way, but publish? as in print or broadcasting? OP here thinks not, and OP has a very good point.
