He is (or was) the richest man in the world. You'd have to be living under a rock to not know who he is

My point from a legal standpoint is that 'fighting words' are not protected speech

In other news, JD Vance says "What's that?" When asked about the Streisand effect.

Like it or not, that's been the interpretation since the founding of the US. It is not the case in some other countries, but I'm assuming we are talking about the US here. What most people miss is it only restricts the government from punishing your speech, not private entities. Insults, defamation, and lies, are absolutely allowed, but you can be found liable civilly for any damage done by this speech either through punitive damages (lawsuit settlement) or other means, deplatforming, loss of employment, etc.

threats, calls for hatred, are a bit of a gray area. It depends on the severity of the threat, but true threats can be prosecuted.

Hate speech is generally allowed, but if it is inciteful enough to be a true threat, it too can be prosecuted.

If you'd like to read up on true threats, see below:

True, but a liter a day seems a bit excessive for sugar intake.

Honestly, the latter is absolutely free speech. They are 100% free to say that shit if they want. They are not free however from consequences, i.e. getting hit in the mouth, fired from their job, etc.

I know, I used to work at a health food store. It was really blowing up around 2010-2015 or so, but I just don't think it's anywhere near as popular today.

I feel like the coconut water trend died out like 5-10 years ago. I never see anyone drinking it anymore.

I guess we'll have to call him Louie G now.

Happy this guy did this, but don't forget Roger Waters is a piece of shit and supports Russia in this war. Probably fondling Trump's balls at this very moment.
