To be fair, though, I'm not sure why media generally insists on presenting academic viewpoints like this

Because they are fundamentally social topics that impact your average Joe. To just let a bunch of quacks leverage institutions to push their crap is how we let things go worse.

Threatening to hijack a plane?

A large amount of the community here came over from the shitshow that was the .world community where the admins were a bunch of reddit admins wannabes who just banned people for not being leftist, and at that time, the sh.itjust.works community was entirely umoderated, which caused all the activity to dry up because nobody liked dealing with the perpetual trolls that just harassed everyone there.

We'll start at the beginning: So, there are absolutely no circumstances when the government can do anything to promote the public’s interest in health and safety through factual information? None at all? Zero?

As I said, the government is free to push its own narrative through its own channels. If some government organization wants to spend their time spamming tweets, they're free to do so. They can use their own websites, call for press conferences, that type of stuff.

You're talking about the content of what the government is asking. I'm asking about the act of asking itself, as was Justice Jackson

Yes. The act of asking is itself the problem. Justices should not be asking questions of whether or not we should discard the constitution just because it makes her political masters have a hard time enacting their garbage.

Like I give a fuck. The purpose of government isn't to make people happy, it's to uphold their rights.

Sure. The government is free to speak it's own stance on its own platform. Can't you people who just want to blindly worship whatever the government says stick to watching cspan or whatever and fuck off of private platforms?

My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the federal government in significant ways in the most important time periods

Good. That's the fucking point of it and worthless rats like her who can't see it shouldn't be running the show.
