Attorney General Pam Bondi is under fire for telling Facebook parent company Meta to remove content on the social media site.

Bondi claimed that a Facebook group posts public photos of federal agents, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, that identify them.

Is there proof of this? 99.9% of them are wearing masks and are unidentifiable. So how are they being doxed? They certainly don't give their names ...


Oh and

Fuck Pam bondi

And fuck Donald Trump.

P.s. I hope they are doxxed.

Short of Chinese and Russian level bans on certain sites, that's a nearly hopeless cause. The internet is a double edged sword.

But the shit storm a Chinese style internet crackdown would cause would be ginormous. There there's the whole VPN thing. Every site I visit tonight thinks I'm in Toronto.

They were all whingding about censorship or something. Biden was not trying to have any posts taken down.

Just like Braun, she's her master's voice. And may she suffer the same fate.
