>> You cannot cut someone's power because they broadcast a death threat from their house

You probably wouldn't need to cut their power in order to stop the broadcast. Just call the local police.



Yep; so someone should have called whatever the Fed equivalent of police is to investigate specific people calling for terrorism. Not unilaterally ban the entire site.

Come think of it, in my original analogy, it would be more like cutting power to an entire condo building because one resident is broadcasting death threats.


What if the police are militia members too
