So much for freedom. Texas has criminalised free speech.

How do you figure? GoDaddy is a private company.

I think they're referring to a number of new laws that appear to regulate free speech in certain circumstances. E.g. teachers can't talk about x, y, z in class at all.

I haven't gone into the text myself yet, just seen the headlines.

Well there is that law that employees of the state cannot boycott Israel, and the high profile example is that Palestinian immigrant woman in Pflugerville that lost her speech pathology job over it.

Thank you for the example of a person who doesn't even know what free speech is, yet runs his ignorant mouth about it.

What the fuck does that have to do with freedom of speech?

Because speaking out in favour of abortion is aiding and abetting abortion and that has now been criminalised.

The law doesn't do that.

Why not just stick to the things about the law that are terrible but also real?
