Yeah, there’s always a pretext. That’s the point. It’s easy to say “I’d only ban speech that violates the law!” when someone else is running the show. But when you’re in charge and reality hits, well, of course posting someone’s location doesn’t count as free speech!
And so on and so forth. It happened with parody, it’s happening with this and it’ll happen with something else in the future. No one comes out and says “actually, I don’t support free speech anymore.” They just keep moving the goalposts. Which would be fine, except people keep trying to tell me they don’t exist.
