because one side is prioritizing democratic principles and the other is making an argument that could be related to the first amendment. Twitter absolutely isn’t doing this for any good reason, but the argument could be used for one.

How isn’t this immediately a red flag?

If you have to tell deliberate lies to influence people then that isn’t democracy. That’s fascism. Fuck twisting the First Amendment into a tool of lies and corruption.

I propose for every lie someone tells, we (we’ll vote on who) gets to punch them in the face.

the problem I have is that the law (609.772) appears to not only apply to political content, but all content that is
"so realistic that a reasonable person would believe it depicts speech or conduct of an individual who did not in fact engage in such speech or conduct; " and made without consent and wintin 90 days of political party conventions or after absentee voting starts.
By the way it is written the “presidents play Minecraft” series which most informed people would fully understand was not made my any presidents would likely fall under this law.

A reasonable person would not believe that that was made by the Presidents, though.

There are so many flags right now it’s just a sea of red undulations. Done by design, so that we don’t notice the death of democracy.

They overwhelm everyone knowing that 80% of this shit is gonna get outlawed or overturned, but that 20% that gets through is gonna be huge for them.
