It’s really interesting to see how quickly things have changed. The world watched in horror at Jan 6th, we decided we needed to be better than that and stopped a certain someone and friends who were spreading blatant lies that millions chose to accept as truth because it served an end goal, ignoring all evidence and facts disapproving..

Today you and others who point out what brought us here are downvoted, others like myself flagged.. as if the circumstances that brought us to this junction means nothing.

You’re right though, CP is illegal, revenge porn we decided as a society is unacceptable, we have slander and liable laws, etc… we’ve drawn some lines in “free speech”, and we discovered another one on the 6th

I get that some folks who bought the lie are upset now but this is society marching forward, and it’s interesting reading this post, watching it being overrun by extremism
