File under: Govt of Iran

Look I don't support murderous IRAN, Radicalized Islam, its supporters, or those waging terrorism against the USA in any shape or form.

But the US Gov. shutting down Websites because "it claims it fails its fact checks, or has issues with what is said..." is granting itself a greater authority for more than likely down the road greater Internal USA abuses.

The Rule of Law must protect ALL, or it protects No one.

HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING
Given the Fed's can do it to _______.
What is to keep a Coup Administration from exercising the same self-given Censorship Authority and applying it to:
RANTBURG,
IOTW,
WhatFinger,
UNZ,
Woodersman(sp),
TheFeralIrishman
or dozens of other Pro-USA Constitutional supporting websites?

I agree with the rule of Law and War comment.

Then declare war making Radicalized Islam and websites promoting terrorist or illegal activities (eg. ANTI-FArt & BLOM) against
USA LAWS.

A Law thus making supporting such activities, when done or supported in speech even by elected officials Illegal and a treasonous Subversive offense.

Thus a RULE OF LAW that stands between the People and the usual overreaching few in Government with an agenda.

Note: I am sure many of you have read of the many ongoing efforts by the Coup admin trying to pass laws and reg's directed at and against conservatives. eg. The Domestic Terrorist Act.

So What if a Government decided to start shutting down Pro-USA Websites and Blogs that counter the far Left Political agenda of Pro-Black Anti-White Racism and violation of the Bill of Rights?

So yes I am looking down the road and I can see this as a 21EEE foot in the door for the Coups efforts to silence Conservative free speech sites arbitrarily based on political disagreement without a court order.

The U.S. government doesn’t have to bestir itself — the BigTech companies have been deplatforming those they dislike for several years in their own initiative.
