The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It does make sense, it's just where do we draw the line. Political speech is protected within the United States. - Lambo

--------------

IMHO, the vastly more important question is, "Who draws the line?"

Another quibble,

If a bad actor is disseminating disinformation from within the US, it has some protection, but not if it's disinformation tied to a foreign propaganda machine that is bent on helping elect one candidate over another.

Who determines an item is disinformation?

The problem with these ideas is that they require a Ministry of Truth. If such a Ministry was in place, the FBI's recent crime rate revision by plus 6.6% would not occur. Or Secret Services failures at Butler. Or the fiasco at the southern border, and so on.
