We need to have a serious conversation

Just like no one can really stop you from spouting hate speech. The laws against it are vague if challenged from a Constitutional standing. 

Its something people don't much thought into while living in a free society. You are responsible for your own actions, be it either rewards for adding to society as a whole, condonation for taking away from society, or ignorance for being nonconsequential to society. 

When viewed from an angle of control by the government, allowing people to openly speak their minds, call out the government, or present possible differing of event to the official narrative is dangerous to the control mechanism of that government. 

Creating a system of nonparticipant education for brainwashing that society allows easier control of the people within that society. Scarily enough, we saw this exact play during the covid lockdowns and continued vaccine mandates some countries are still pushing.

I think where the US government has been running afoul is the right to "petition the government for redress of grievances" which has been interpreted by the courts consistently to mean that people can assemble, they can protest, they can petition, and they can air their grievances which includes protections on writing about them online. It seems to me, this is the avenue the government sincerely seeks to control. This is exactly why, IMHO, sites like this are being targeted.
