Horrible voter outreach.

    Do you really wish to sue moderators of an internet forum? It seems outlandish for many reasons. No rights are infringed because this is a private entity, not the government, censoring (moderating)

    Plus, the UN text you’re quoting does not ostensibly protect internet comments from moderation either

    Generally the concept of suing under UN law in the USA is comical because of our disdain for international law too

      If an instance operator violated my UN Human Rights, and my Nation-State had written domestic laws to allow me to sue for injuctive or other relief, then you had better believe it.

      Well, this is why I advocate for us to finally, after 60+ years, ratify the ICESCR.

      The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights has other Articles. Read the whole thing…

      There is a difference between reasonable, valid moderator actions and wholesale censorship.
