Glad the free speech folks are in charge

I’m old enough to remember when Republicans sued Biden over this.

doxing is, as far as I know, disapproved of by both tribes.

The self righteous antifa sympathizers being the most prominent group who like it.

If you click through to the source complainer, one Ms Loomer, there doesn’t seem to be much of any doxxing going on. Rather it’s just saying where ICE is conducting raids.

Makes sense given that, if you’re worried about ICE you just want to avoid them, and also they seem to wear masks and not display name tags. It would be pretty hard to doxx individual agents in practice.

I assume ‘ICE tracking sites are getting people killed’ is a lie? I haven’t followed too closely but I’m guessing that had an ICE agent been killed I would have been blamed by Trump and his cabinet along with everyone else who didn’t vote for him. Like what happened with Charlie Kirk (who by the way didn’t turn 32 today).

Yeah took some screenshots. It’s exactly what you’d think it is. People reporting ICE activity in real time.

I'll just assume that there's no actual doxing, for the sake of argument. As far as I'm aware, this conversation during Biden's term, stopped with "private businesses can do whatever they want". There was much prancing around misconceptions of free speech. As it happens, Bondi wants to brag about outreach, where the Biden admin kept it under wraps. I'm not a fan of government leaning on social media sites to moderate content, but I'm sure there's a legal and ethical conversation to be had when these social media groups are being used to organize efforts to harass law enforcement and make it more difficult for them to do their jobs.

Agreed but I’d still prefer they respect the platform’s independence even if the stakes are material.

Since when did it become OK for law enforcement to wear masks?

Mask. No ID, no warrant, honestly no idea if it’s just a Halloween costume. But GET IN MY CAR.

I'm genuinely surprised that more conservatives aren't horrified by this. The ends justify the means, I guess.

You mean the ones worried about FEMA camps?

That was last season. They brought in an entirely new set of writers this season.
