Attorney General Pam Bondi is under fire for telling Facebook parent company Meta to remove content on the social media site.

Bondi claimed that a Facebook group posts public photos of federal agents, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, that identify them.

"Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago," Bondi said, noting that ICE agents are being targeted.

First Amendment and defamation lawyer Ari Cohen commented, "Discussion of where ICE has been spotted operating, and even the identities of agents, is protected by the First Amendment. If there's a true threat, you prosecute that. But you cannot silence lawful speech, or pressure platforms to, because you're worried it might be 'misused.'"............................

1. Bahahahhaa...remember when theSocials got yelled at by MAGA,

because Twitter was censoring them?

2. I find it hard to believe agents are being doxxed...

Is there proof of this? 99.9% of them are wearing masks and are unidentifiable. So how are they being doxed? They certainly don't give their names ...


Oh and

Fuck Pam bondi

And fuck Donald Trump.

P.s. I hope they are doxxed.

3. "you cannot silence lawful speech"

Challenge accepted!

4. In the internet age? Good luck with that.

Short of Chinese and Russian level bans on certain sites, that's a nearly hopeless cause. The internet is a double edged sword.

5. I'm afraid that nothing will stop them from trying

unfortunately.

6. Wouldn't put it past them. They're dumb enough to try.

But the shit storm a Chinese style internet crackdown would cause would be ginormous. There there's the whole VPN thing. Every site I visit tonight thinks I'm in Toronto.

7. I seem to remember the MAGAts went nuts when Biden simply communicated with media sites.

They were all whingding about censorship or something. Biden was not trying to have any posts taken down.

8. Not so cool when the shoe's on the other foot, eh, EvaBlonde?

But you seem to think it's OK if it's done to our side. Go f*ck a cactus, Eva.

9. Yep, it's Eva Bondi!

Just like Braun, she's her master's voice. And may she suffer the same fate.
