Personal death threats: I was a mod on a Facebook group that banned a guy for being hostile to others, and this guy turned out to be paranoid and probably had some other mental health issues going on and believed there was a vast conspiracy against him with us working with people we had never heard of and with other online forums that he had been hostile on
Impersonal death threats: just the typical stuff from rightwingers for being harmlessly different in some way
I think education and access to general information is a human right. However, there might be cases where a direct internet connection may be logistically impossible to provide or it may be the wrong choice for a particular person. For example, a person in jail for cleverly hacking computer systems could potentially cause problems if they are allowed to use a computer while imprisoned; in this case, a warden with a paper printer acting as a proxy may be the best option to bring them requested information posted online. There is also some media online that could be harmful to rehabilitation and is in the prisoners’ and the prison’s best interests to refuse access to, such as violent internet content provoking those who are recovering from a history of violence.
Having the right to post online is a separate issue and should typically be determined by whom the host site chooses to provide or deny service to; for example, John Hinckley Jr., who attempted to assassinate Ronald Reagan, was able to post his music on YouTube prior to his release. Restraining orders can also apply to online spaces to protect victims from further harm.
Because telling me that you rolled a 6 on one die and a 2 on another die is completely mindless and uninteresting, whether or not you weighted any of those dice.

The post on r/politics pertains to before the show was pulled, but it was posted after it was officially pulled. Some subreddits do delete repeat posts that are about the same story to keep the discussion all in one thread, so maybe that has happened with that subreddit?

Does the bottom image seem… off… to anyone else? There are no veins visible in his eyes, the light is reflecting differently in each eye, the background is a suspicious off-white, the model and his attire are very physically generic and featureless, and there’s a very high sharpness and focus without any depth, so it raised some intuitive AI gen red flags for me. I was not able to find any matches with several different reverse image searches, and I tried several sites for detecting AI gen images and most suggested that it was a real photograph but one site wholly disagreed.
I wasn’t concerned about any level of canon, but rather if the content was actually published by the franchise and not just some random fan unaffiliated with the rights to the characters and universe.
The intent behind this post was to help others with self-improvement by showing why others might turn somebody down
