The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That appears to be changing. These locals seem to think they're going to be able to lock up anyone they want.

They're also not talking about Musk; they're talking about anyone who dares to talk about this at all.


What the locals think doesn't change the content of international treaties.

As for locking up other folks (presumably people that are in the jurisdiction), not all countries have the same laws as the US. If someone violates UK criminal law by engaging in speech that is criminalized there, then they can be locked up. The Brandenburg v. Ohio test used in the US is a really, really high bar. It would not surprise me if speech that would be protected here might be subject to criminal penalties if made in other countries.
