>>We might see well-coordinated attacks on the ability of politicians and government agencies to conduct their business because their official accounts are flooded with obscene and malicious content - perhaps hundreds or even thousands of nuisance messages.

I already see it. My congressman, Ted Yoho, is very active on FB as a way of communicating. But, every single day, his posts are flooded with comments from two names. Every legitimate constituent who replies to Yoho with something positive gets an almost-instant response from one of the two names. The paid trolls use typical Progressive hyperbole where everything that Yoho does “will kill millions” etc.

But, these paid-activist trolls are the reason why this freedom-killing judge made the ruling. I wonder if the judge’s court room is a free and public space where no speech can be stifled?

I suspect this judge’s decision will only apply to conservatives.

I checked her website the other day, and she doesn't even post an email address or Twitter account, so the only way to contact her office is by phone, which obviously significantly reduces your ability to contact her.

I wonder if there is a way to restrict the number of posts. Maybe you could let the 2 jerks post on Yoho’s FB, but restrict them to X number of posts per day?

Just spitballing here. Really, I’m against restrictions. But even more than that, I’m against restrictions that are applied ONLY TO CONSERVATIVES.

I could live with any reasonable set of rules/laws IF THEY WERE APPLIED CONSISTENTLY.
