It’s crazy that the only place I’ve been able to go on and talk about how bad this complete dismantling of free speech/civil liberties online is, is Infowars 😰 The rest of the media is still feeding the exact moral panic about social media that these horrible laws are predicated on.

To recap: More than 1,000 FBI agents were assigned to comb through the Epstein Files to flag any mentions of Trump’s name for higher-ups. The FBI then redacted Trump’s name from the files before ultimately deciding not to release the documents.

The schools have zero ability to enforce their own agreements. And they have no ideological red lines to stop themselves from giving up more.
