I've noticed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk ... gainst_NYT - not only has Alex here written how threatening one candidate is to autistic people, but Wikipedia's co-founder thinks it could hypothetically be dangerous for that site, especially if encryption is forced into like the fascist wanted after Apple's incident with the FBI, saying "I'll personally lead a march on the White House if necessary"... although ultimately database copies are downloadable, so even if there is no freedom of press it could be set up in Canada or such (which would probably the last bastion of sanity in North America).

This one person threatens so much and so many and inexplicably people could vote for their own repression...

Speech is still free in the U.S. We can say pretty well anything we want short of inciting a riot, lynching or insurrection. Public Key Encryption is readily available and no one will stop you from using it.
