Maybe it’s legal or maybe it’s illegal. The courts will decide. But it’s not right. And it’s not in the spirit of our nation’s commitment to free speech. And most everyone praising this action knows it’s not right and are succumbing to baser motives.

The US government didn’t censor anyone, said the media. But it did. Not only that, it worked with other nations to do so. Now, the US government has not only repudiated censorship, it’s put free speech at the center of its foreign policy. Thank you and bravo @SecRubio !

The statement 'Was fun while it lasted!' is a sarcastic remark in response to a discussion about free speech and government actions. It implies a critique of the short-lived nature of a policy or initiative related to free speech diplomacy. The tone is dismissive and possibly cynical, suggesting dissatisfaction with the situation.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm but may contribute to a dismissive attitude towards serious issues.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The sarcastic tone does not promote understanding or empathy, as it trivializes the issue. [-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 does not engage in constructive dialogue and instead uses sarcasm, which may hinder productive discussion. [-1]
