Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
this is bound to happen in amerikka too sooner or later.
The communist control act has been on the books since the 1950s.
all it'll take is one court case to the supreme court...
Is it actually enforced though? I could envision a reality where all mentions of communism/socialism are censored by default on twitter/youtube, especially if companies implement lobotomized grok
Currently, not really.
No one should call themselves a communist in the US though unless they want to open themselves to unnecessary grief. Being a socialist is and always has been fine, to my knowledge.
It's kinda funny that the laws were written by someone perhaps sort of competent who knew the difference between communism and socialism. Basically allowing people to be "democratic socialists" who still wish to uphold capitalism but with more social welfare programs domestically. But if you advocate for communism that's too far. I believe you're fine advocating for the full abolishment of capitalism though which one might argue is communism, but if you don't specifically state that you wish for a communist economic system... sort of ok? None of this is enforced really. People mostly find them to be a joke for now.
They're already trying to dig up the oldest most bullshit laws though to weaponize. Things like the Sec of State can revoke visas at will for any reason they deem to be "national security" related. Which could just be a person farting too loudly near Little Marco.
