The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

@Elgenzay @can Yes, it is legal in the US, under our First Amendment. Freedom of speech is unusually strong in the US. Even the President's best friends can throw Nazi salutes. In theory, the People should do something about that, if they want to, but it's not the right of government to decide who should think what and get to express it or not.

More technically, content-based government discrimination of expression is strictly forbidden under our constitution.
