If you support free speech, you must support people pinging other users. It's completely legal speech. If you won't defend pinging as free speech because you or someone else finds it disgusting, then no speech that you or anyone else views as disgusting is safe.
>if it is in fact on shaky legal ground it's reasonable to not want to be the case that establishes it as illegal.
It's not, The reddit admins are straight up lying to the ignorant (like yourself) to justify their prejudice. Pinging being protected speech has long since been estabilished, as it has undeniable artistic merit. The only time it's been included under any obscenity laws is when someone is being charged with possession of harassment, so the state can slap them with more charges. The courts have been very careful to not charge anyone for pinging, because they'd get their asses fucking annihilated by a higher court due to the firm precedence of pinging being completely legal speech. /r/Drama had nothing to worry about, this guy was just making shit up to fool people into thinking his censoring wasn't entirely personally motivated.
The reality at the end of the day is that the drug can not effectively treat the illness AND drunpf can be profiting off the sale. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. Fake news is free speech, I agree there 100%
Those findings aren’t anything anyone should be surprised about. Heart arrhythmia is a known common side effect of hydroxychloroquine. Shockingly mixing heart arrhythmia with Covid-19 which is showing outside of mild cases to do some damage to the heart and lungs along with some kidney and liver damage may lead to an increased risk of heart failure.
This is libel, and harassment - a civil tort, and a violation of the Reddit Content Policies.
