- bragr 1y ago>The laws are different when you work for the government. Which laws? Because every government job I've come across has pretty strict rules on what you can and cannot say in public, or at least they way in which you have to frame it apart from your job.

But from the ABA for a more reliable source. https://www.americanbar.org/news/abanews/publications/youraba/2017/october-2017/new-aba-fact-checking-site-sets-the-legal-record-straight/ https://www.americanbar.org/news/abanews/publications/yourab...

- Simulacra 1y agoI think there's two parts of that question. The first is that the law is the hatch act, federal employees may not engage in political activities. But the second thing is, the government is assuming your identity to change your speech and broadcast that speech as if you said it. I'm not a lawyer, but I think that would squarely follow government action to abridge your speech.
