here's the problem though. there's nothing remotely illegal about the statements that were made.

So it's clear on its face that the comments are free speech and not actionable. so why was the govt looking into taking action? that is the question mark.

Why? BFYTW.

The government hardly confines it's abuse to those who actually break laws. Government thugs abuse their enemies, high among them being those who highlite and oppose government thuggery.

Reason has no responsibility to police its comments, so the govt leaning on them won't push them to do so. It could send a chilling effect among internet commenters, but only if people knew about it, so what was the gag for?

The point is to abuse Reason with legal process so that they shut down their comments sections, eliminating a forum for people who generally disapprove of government power. Also, naturally, to terrorize commenters and make them all think twice about communicating this disapproval in public.

Apixieism has no tradition, stories of faith, or organizational structure (things a religion usually requires), but it is an expression of pure faith. Apixieism might even be considered the ultimate faith: it is defined by a negative, which means it can never be proven true. Never being proven true means it must always be taken on faith. There are no witnesses to apixieism . No prophets or mystics with direct experience of the lack of the divine.

I'm sorry, that's just an insane ruling. REQUIRING a company to manufacture a specific product???

Oh no, that's not crazy. The crazy thing that will never be allowed is for people to be free to purchase the drug from any producer in the world that wants to provide it. Freedom is just crazy talk.

Controlling companies benefitting from a legally protected market is entirely predictable.
