The government didn’t censor anyone on Covid, say the media. But it did. Facebook’s Zuckerberg even said he regretted giving in to the government's demands. And now, new documents reveal that the Dept. of Homeland Security may have broken the law by hunting down Covid wrongthink.

The statement engages in public discourse by addressing concerns about government overreach and potential legal violations by a federal agency. It expresses support for an organization that uncovered documents suggesting misconduct by the Department of Homeland Security.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly harm others but implies wrongdoing by a government agency, which could be seen as holding them accountable. [+1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    It respects privacy by not targeting individuals personally, focusing instead on institutional actions. [+1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement lacks constructive dialogue, as it does not engage with opposing views or provide a balanced perspective. [-1]
  4. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    It uses influence to raise awareness about potential government overreach, which could contribute to societal betterment by promoting transparency. [+1]
