      Dumb fuck, it’s not all-or-nothing. Specific criticism that could make a positive difference is being censored. I’m sorry you fucked up, but please stop pretending otherwise. It was an easy mistake, but a harmful one. We should not downplay what is happening here, criticism was banned.

        Oh look at that, suddenly it’s “specific” criticism is banned. Good, we’re starting to get there.

        But of course that’s not quite right, is it? Because like we just established, even that specific criticism isn’t banned because we just read that criticism in a substack.

        So maybe you meant specific people are banned from making that specific criticism?

          They posted to Facebook. The post was taken down, allegedly because they did not go through proper channels to post it. Their requests to return the post to Facebook were met with invitations to a shitty zoom call they couldn’t enter with a person who did not attend.

          It remains forbidden from being posted on their Facebook page.

          I appreciate you trying to hold headline authors accountable, but I don’t see how this headline is inaccurate.

          Ohio Dem Party Has Banned Criticism Of Gov. Candidate Amy Acton Calling Trans Girls “Boys”

          I think it is future-proof, too. Even if the post is restored, the fact remains that it was once banned.

            They posted to Facebook.

            Ooo you’re getting warmer! Are these specific people banned from posting that specific criticism anywhere on Facebook?

                Now we’re really cooking!

                Okay, so let’s work it out starting really broadly: should everyone in the world have access to post anything they want at all to that Facebook page?

                  That isn’t the question. The question is “why can’t the original posters resubmit through the proper channels”? Because it was banned.
