Beginning 1 September, we will need to geoblock Mississippi IPs

Eventually we're going to end up with freedom loving states and puritanical nanny states.

I see the larger objective as total control over all speech, thought, and information in more circuitous and pernicious ways than something in one of the poster-boys of “tyranny”.

This is just the start and the trial balloons. The enemy within is a bit nervous about this attack on the most fundamental freedom that the Constitution is protecting, free speech, but they’re also very confident in themselves.

No, we're going to end up with a lot puritanical nanny states policing different things, depending on their flavor of authoritarianism.

You think so? My state's supreme Court has interpreted our state constitution's freedom of expression clause even more broadly than the federal first amendment. It's hard to see how anything like that could survive judicial review here.

The makeup of a court is temporary. Maybe your court is "safe" today; that won't necessarily still be the case tomorrow.
