With the Trump administration going after speech, the United States of America is on the verge of having its Nostr moment.

In America we have freedom of speech as long as that speech is approved by the president.
Fascists.
Yeeeey π₯³πgo team USA πΊπΈ
The parallels are stunning. 

at this rate, we are renting a disillusionment of freedom, that has been bent out of it's core definition
I felt that already when censored in mid 2021
The Trump administration is operating within the bounds of existing law. The law clearly states that making threats such as "I will kill you" is illegal. These laws were already in place before the Trump administration took office.
The Trump administration is using these laws to hold individuals accountable, including those on the left, who may engage in criminal behavior. These laws are not new, they were established long before.
Regarding the First Amendment, some people argue that it protects all speech, including threats, as "free speech." However, the law recognizes that while speech is protected, certain actions like actually following through on a threat are illegal. The courts have clarified that speech that incites violence or poses a real danger is not protected under the First Amendment.
This process of judicial clarification also happened with the Second Amendment. Over time, courts have interpreted what types of firearms are legal and which are not, even though the Second Amendment itself does not specify this in detail.
While I believe the government has sometimes overreached in limiting certain rights, including freedom of speech, it's important to recognize that the courts have continually refined the meaning of both the First and Second Amendments.
I believe these clarifications were an infringement on the constitution.
Restricting speech is allowing the government to censor what people say, and could also lead to people hiding their true intentions.
The Trump administration is acting within the framework of laws that were already established. They are not creating new laws; they are enforcing the ones that exist.
While I believe that free speech should be protected in all forms, including controversial or offensive speech and death threats, the law currently prohibits threats of violence. We must follow the law as it stands until we can elect officials who may work to amend it, if thatβs the direction we want to go.
