    Lies and threats may be illegal but they violate the idea of free speech, so why do you support these restrictions on the first amendment and not others?

    Because they’re laws the we have as a society agreed upon and put into place. Pretty simple stuff. I do not understand how thinking that the law should be followed is such a wild idea.

    If we want vaccine misinformation to be illegal, we should pass a law. Otherwise, the first amendment stands. What’s so weird about that?
