Who in US has been sentenced to prison for internet posts?
That one guy who said he was gonna kill a sheriff in Minecraft
Whoa. https://kotaku.com/minecraft-death-threat-4chan-pol-shooter-arrested-cops-1850241929
Ok, standing corrected here although I feel death threats are not exactly the same thing as what happened in Russia.
Yeah i was just being pedantic lol
Internet posts?! This is why online discussions are ridiculously stupid. A classic argument over semantics about Internet posts, when so many people have been censored for speaking out against the government. Anybody that thinks the US is a bastion of freedom has bought into the propaganda. The idea that the US can critique anybody about this tickles me. Green my ass
