At least not legally although it damn well should if we actually practiced what we preached.

I think the question that has to come after this is WTF are they looking for. Are they looking for anti-Trump sentiment, DEI sentiment, bragging about universal health care, fat shaming Americans. Who the hell knows.

Short of making plans to plant bombs on Facebook, what the hell would actually trigger a problem.

Amazing how people complain about being called fascists and then do stupid fascists stuff in the same breath.
