I understand that foreigners aren’t protected by our freedom of speech laws but this sure makes me uneasy by normalizing this type of behavior. It makes me think of the old German poem “first they came”
First they came for the twitter user
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a twitter user
Then they came for the Facebook user
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Facebook user
Then they came for the TikTok user
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a TikTok user
Then they came for the instagram user
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Instagram user
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

Freedom of speech is natural law, but anything you say can and will be used against you. Governments of the world seems to be on the side of using anything you say against you. That's why anonymous and pseudonymous speech is important.
It's part of the American tradition because there has always been leaders with totalitarian tendencies who wish to use your speech against you. I see nostr as a place for speech that is outside of the government surveillance system. We're like the Anti-Federalist Papers online.
It's important because, history shows us that even the USG, @Edward Snowden npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 revealed that the government does not respect our 4th amendment rights, nor the 4th amendment rights of citizens of the world.
Americans don't even have freedom of speech anymore.
They forgot about the second amendment and they lost the first.
These are sad times
Even if you like Trump and this policy you have to know the other side will be enbolded to other things. This is how we lose the freedoms we have.
Its absurd that so called freedom loving people support this nonsense.
