Is Free Speech Under Attack in this Country?

No, these are two distinct issues. The government doesn’t get a free pass to take away whichever rights they wish, even if people are committing other crimes. It is not obstruction of justice to say “hey, I saw a cop today.”

Who is complaining that someone said “I saw a cop today”

Kristi Noem. She’s the one using the increase in violence against ICE agents to call an app that people can share ICE sightings on obstruction of justice.

If its an app formally organizing an attempt to subvert the law, hmmmm maybe a court should rule on it then

We've spoken a lot about this in political correctness thread and a few others.

I'm fully aware that this notion will be mocked and dismissed, but I'd welcome any data that can be presented, any thoughtful commentary on specific examples posted, and whether or not open and free speech is at risk in the US. The majority of examples I come across are leftists trying to shut down conservative speech, but if you come across the other way around, please post it.

Note - I do not contend the government is oppressing free speech. For the great majority of examples I've seen and will post about, the action is legal. My question would be whether or not it is healthy and protects free speech throughout our society.

I contend we're slipping down a path where certain (non-controversial) opinions are being silenced. Would love to discuss it on the board if you think it's a worthwhile topic.

One of the things I've learned over the years is that my preferred ideology doesnt work as long as we have big state tyrant lovers like yourself among us.

While I would gladly leave you alone, you refuse to return the gesture. The moment the media tells you to be scared and give up my rights, you bend over for them

Youre welcome that I started this thread alerting the board to the very clear and obvious societal and big government breach on free speech, which brings us to today.

Can't say I didn't warn ya!
