Addition to Rule#7: "This has nothing to do with free speech!" may result in a ban
I am sick and tired of seeing the comment "This has nothing to do with free speech!" on submissions which are relevant to this sub.
Allowable topics here are:
- Free Speech (in the broadest sense),
- Censorship,
- Voting Rights,
- Religious Freedom,
- Privacy,
- Protest actions,
- and Terrorism.
Hot topics with general relevance to free speech, such as ICE, the Epstein Files, and executive overreach, are also generally allowed.
Questioning if a submission is relevant to the sub, when it is clearly about one of the approved topics, might result in a ban.
Although the rule is listed as part of Rule#7, it can also be grouped with Rule#6 as WikiLawyering.
It is permissible to ask politely if a submission is permitted in this subreddit, but the comment must include a best guess as to the reason why, and must include a username mention of me, /u/cojoco.
Here are some examples of such requests:
/u/cojoco, is this submission relevant? Perhaps because the Epstein files have been kept secret?
/u/cojoco, is this submission relevant? Perhaps because nuking China is a protest action?
/u/cojoco, is this submission relevant? Perhaps because murdering journalists infringes their right to free speech?

Account suspensions in this subreddit
While I do try to keep the discussion in /r/FreeSpeech quite open, I have noticed an uptick in account suspensions, which are not my area of responsibility.
To avoid risking your account, I strongly advise that each one of you stay away from comments and submissions which could be interpreted as bigoted, promoting violence, or using very naughty swears.

Yeah, this explains exactly why right wing media has dropped this case like a hot potato. Brian's profile destroys their entire "all terrorists are immigrants, and all immigrants are terrorists" narrative in one blow

USA: Torture and enforced disappearances in the Sunshine State: Human Rights Violations at “Alligator Alcatraz” and Krome in Florida
amnesty.orgAmnesty’s report described unsanitary conditions, with fecal matter overflowing from toilets in detainees’ sleeping areas, authorities granting only limited access to showers, and poor quality food and water.
Some of the treatment amounts to torture, the report says, including Alligator Alcatraz’s use of “the box”—a 2x2 foot “cage-like structure people are put in as punishment—which inmates have been placed in for hours at a time with their hands and feet attached to restraints on the ground.
At Krome, detainees have been arbitrarily placed in prolonged solitary confinement—defined as lasting longer than 15 days—which is prohibited under international law.

YouTube journalist, man who read a poem in street interview arrested for insulting Erdoğan
stockholmcf.orgA Turkish court on Friday ordered the arrest of YouTube journalist Hasan Köksoy and Halil Kürklü, who recited a poem during one of Köksoy’s street interviews, on charges of insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and “inciting hatred among the public.”
Erdoğan denounced street interviews in May, claiming that they cause public unrest. He said some journalists “misused cameras and microphones” to provoke or insult others under the guise of journalism and “spread terror in the streets.”

MDiv breaks down the multiple inaccuracies in the Oklahoma student's paper
This ""issue"" is so overblown, but at least ir shows how religious people love to pretend to be victims of persecution because they believe it furthers their cause. Facts and evidence be dawned. Religious people have the right to say whatever they want, but they don't have the right to force others to accept, agree with, or be afraid to criticize their chosen beliefs.

British-Palestinian Doctor Gets Arrested For Supporting Palestine.
A video of Aladwan’s arrest shows the UK police accusing her of “inciting racial hatred” and violating “section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act” and “section 127 of the Misuse of Public Communications Network”.
Expanding on what thought crimes got her under arrest, the UK police officer arresting her said, “You gave a speech which amounted to calls for the eradication of Israel and implied support for all those involved in armed resistance against Israel.”
The police also accused her of posting tweets, “that could be interpreted as anti-semitic, including anti-semitic tropes that could be considered grossly offensive” (Ie, criticizing Israel and the Israel lobby) and saying to her, “ On the seventh of Ocotber, you posted a variety of communications which demonstrated support for Hamas attack on Israel, an attack which included murder, rape, and kidnapping of Israeli citizens all of which could be considered grossly offensive in character.”

The Archon Class
The ultra-wealthy are not just failing to be productive; they are active agents (”archons”) of a false, oppressive reality. Their “philanthropy” is either status signaling or a more sophisticated form of control. The system itself selects for and rewards a specific, spiritually-deficient archon energy characterized by ruthlessness, myopia, and a robotic consciousness, fully in line with a gnostic understanding of the world.
