@Hyolobrika isn't this already illegal
@icedquinn @Hyolobrika Apparently it doesn't seems to be illegal to use monopolies as proxy-methods of censorship.
@lanodan @Hyolobrika i guess they would argue that creating an agency that just happens to do what congress may not do directly isn't "enacting a law."
judges are just retarded enough to bail them out that way
personally, i think the feds go in the woodchipper

@lanodan @Hyolobrika although i guess you could be a counter asshole and say that since you cannot enact any laws that abridge speech, then creating the FBI itself was illegal (because if it can be interpreted as having abridged speech then the creation itself was never valid.)
@icedquinn @Hyolobrika Well yeah, FBI ought to be pretty much illegal.

@lucifargundam @Hyolobrika @icedquinn Good old USA's trademark of National Security, even when it's illegitimate.
@lanodan @Hyolobrika@berserker.town @icedquinn
only as illegitimate as its land claims :P
@lanodan @Hyolobrika @lucifargundam the US is the opposite of europe though. we value individual freedom above collective fears.
or at least we did when we wrote all this shit.

@lanodan @Hyolobrika @icedquinn @lucifargundam Because any government official that tries to stop them will get assassinated.
@xianc78 @lanodan @Hyolobrika @lucifargundam yeah honestly that. people are too weak for freedom. they're willing to sell everyone else out over a virus.
Many of the actions of NSA/CIA/FBI/… ought to be seen as highly illegal and honestly I don't get how they are still in operation.
