That's a strawman. The real issue is that Trump's DOJ is abusing its powers in this case to do a dragnet collection of 1.3 million of its most fervent political opponents.
Or you're doing dragnet on your political enemies.
It's wrong if someone working for Obama does it, it's wrong if Reagan does it, it's wrong if Hilary does it, it's wrong if _anyone_ does it. Including Trump. He's not special, he's the same whether you like him or not.
That's 310k more "threats". Need a bigger army XD
Half America crying out against Nazi's, but extracting information on certain categorized groups and being pro Nationalistic is how NAZIs (Hitler) rose to power in the first place. Some tough irony right there.
What Google and GoDaddy did was the private citizen equivalent of hearing someone else state their opinion, allowing the words to enter their brain, think about them, and then decide they do not espouse those opinions, so they will not go around stating them to other people as fact. That is not censorship, it's just good sense.
It is censorship (not “tantamount”), but censorship of the sort (private actors deciding on what views to promote with their own resources) that the idea of “free speech” in general, and the First Amendment in particular, exist to protect.
It's theirs, Google and Godaddy are not public libraries.
I can't stop you from screaming pro Nazi propaganda on the streets
But if you do it in my home, I kick you out.
Simple as that
And even if one of the rioters had also made threats, how is getting 1.3 million ip addresses of visitors to the site that organized the protest possibly salient to that investigation? It's not a forum, there isn't going to be any further incriminating evidence on it. If the threatener visited the site, the went to the protest and made the threat, what exactly does the government gain by proving that he visited it?
