Censorship

Anyone think censorship prosecutions will happen at some point? RWNJs are already crowing about criminal referrals for the FBI and various other federal employees, which fits in with tfg's announcement yesterday. Here is the law they are hoisting their petard on:
18 U.S.C. § 241 wrote: Section 241 makes it unlawful for two or more persons to agree to injure, threaten, or intimidate a person in the United States in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured by the Constitution or laws of the Unites States or because of his or her having exercised such a right.

Beyond that, of course, are a multitude of issues, such as why blocking links of the NYPOST's Hunter Biden Laptop isn't censorship, but blocking coverage of Elon Musk's famed jet trackers is.
