A situation that should be impossible due to freedom of speech.
- Aramgutang 4mo agoHere are some crimes you can commit by speaking, where freedom of speech cannot be used as a defence: - assault / terror threats - extortion / blackmail - fraud - conspiracy / solicitation to commit a crime - treason / sedition - perjury - slander

- iamnothere 4mo ago> sedition Sedition, the bugbear of would-be censors, has never really caught on as a tool of prosecutors in the US. There have been several attempts to use laws against sedition to attack dissidents in the US, but only a few cases have stuck, and it was usually during wartime or with extremely unfavorable defendants. Courts have (rightly) slapped down most uses of sedition laws as violations of free speech.
