Bullshit.
You've all heard of the USSR, well those of us who live in the US, think USSA and you'll understand what's going on. Everything is against the law. Welcome to America (and all European based countries), where anything an inch to right of Karl Marx is radical right wing terrorism by scary White men and must be investigated.
The fact of the matter is that when they tell you you have free speech or freedom of assembly, they are simply lying. You can be sued, you can be arrested, you can be denied access to the internet, you can be physically attacked on the streets. it does not matter if it is the government or extra-governmental organizations working through loopholes allowed by the government when you get shut down.
You are shut down just the same.
