Sorry, Americas constitutional protections are effectively a myth. There is nothing to enforce or even defend them. They are theory at best, easy to be twisted any time powerful enough person wants.
- chrononaut 1y agoCouldn't you make that argument for any law in any society?
- 10000truths 1y agoSure, which is why the value of such a law should be judged based on how well it's enforced, and not merely how often it's espoused.
- SilverElfin 1y agoHow is it a myth? Anyone can say what they want, barring a small set of exceptions like defamation. This is enforced and defended by the legal system. It’s the opposite of what you are claiming.
- watwut 1y agoThe power of literal government agencies are used against people and organizations literally based on their speech. Literally over words. Meanwhile, literal financial political corruption is framed as speech. And second, give how expensive civil suits are, you not having enough money to pay layers means that slapp suits are very effective limits on free speech in practice.
