There is plenty to criticize the US about, and I say that as an American. We sure as shit are very, very far from perfect. The same is true for every country to varying degrees.
That said, yeah, I'm still suspicious of it and you should be too. People are always being manipulated to act against their own self interest and it would be wise to stop and consider the message and where it's coming from.
I'll be damned, you're right: It's hosted in the Netherlands! My mistake, I totally thought it was in the United States.
Still not clear on how or why they would have any law at all regarding the discussion of a legal term from the American legal system though, especially in the context of a criminal case in the US courts.
No, it's hosted in the United States where is is a perfectly valid, legal term and you are absolutely allowed to talk about it.
The reason given was that they were afraid of being sued, but that reason does not stand up to scrutiny for a variety of reasons including the above (plus, nobody would have the standing to sue and even if they did they still could not successfully sue the host).
I don't know if their admin has an agenda or they're just being excessively cautious, but there is no valid legal reason whatsoever to censor talk of legal terminology (even one that is controversial).
I think it's just a joke about trying to get hashtags working on a Mastodon post?
