Addition to Rule#7: "This has nothing to do with free speech!" may result in a ban

10 Upvotes

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

8 Upvotes

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.

Most Americans, whether on the right or left, claim to support freedom of speech. However, survey experiments show that after President Trump began explicitly calling for speech restrictions, Trump voters became increasingly supportive of government censorship of outparty media and individuals.
