It really is ridiculous the corruption that is in government these days. And I'm not just some conspiracy theory nut, I have done years of research of these sorts of things and it's really sickening. I have fallen down so far down the rabbit hole that I can't see the light anymore.

What?
I know those things, but what I am saying is that Freedom of Speech is not a dead topic nor is it a thing of the past. The internet has brought this out again, and politicians fear it. What do people in power do when they fear something? They ban it or limit its access to the point people do not want it anymore. The problem is the government (not just the US) have no clue what to do and are trying to throw out random legislation to control this market.
