what will you do and say when the federalies show up at your door under similar circumstances;

In recent years, numerous celebrities and other public figures have been raked over the coals for things they’ve said on social media. In many cases, voicing unpopular opinions can end a high-profile individual's career. But what about ordinary people who are just sharing their political views online with their friends and family?

It turns out the FBI is watching Americans’ social media posts pretty carefully, and if they don’t like what you say, they could well show up at your door and ask you to explain yourself.

A recent incident in Oklahoma highlighted just how much time and energy the American government is devoting to policing people’s speech online. Lawyer Hassan Shibly posted a video online showing FBI agents going to the home of his client, Rolla Abdeljawad, claiming they had screenshots of posts she made on Facebook that were political in nature and that they wanted to discuss them with her.

She said she wasn’t going to talk to them, and when she asked them to show their identification badges on camera, they refused. However, she later confirmed with her local police that they were part of the FBI.

Although this in-person visit was disturbing enough on its own, it gets worse. She asked one of the agents, “So we no longer live in a free country and we can’t say what we want?”

He replied: "No, we totally do. That's why we're not here to arrest you or anything. We do this every day, all day long. It's just an effort to keep everybody safe and make sure nobody has any ill will."

Really? They do this “every day, all day long”? Most of us are aware that the Biden administration works closely with social media platforms to censor Americans’ speech and make sure their preferred narratives get maximum air time while detractors are silenced, but it is still surprising to see just how far they are going in their pursuit to control our speech..........more.........
