Discussion of where ICE has been spotted operating, and even the identities of agents, is protected by the First Amendment. If there's a true threat, you prosecute that. But you cannot silence lawful speech, or pressure platforms to, because you're worried it might be “misused.”

Retail investors often bear the brunt of losses in the Solana blockchain's memecoin market, which is rife with insider trading cabals, rug pulls, and “sniping”

Upshot: SCOTUS vacates and remands the NetChoice cases because of the facial challenge irregularity that came up at oral arguments, but the Court takes the time to explain how it views the First Amendment principles at issue, with a not-at-all-disguised swipe at the 5th Circuit. [image]
