OH YEAH THEYRE TALKING ABOUT IT NOW
Please do not remove mods, really sorry for the Google AMP link, but this is a "subscribers only" blocked article on CNN that for some reason AMP just straight up bypasses and opens fine.

Edit 1: updated title, CNN changed it on me
You're viewing a single thread.
Not sure the mods are the ones to worry about, last I heard the admin on this instance was censoring and/or prohibiting talk of jury nullification.
IIRC, it's because the country this instance is hosted in has laws that make it difficult to publicly discuss the subject.
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).
Lemmy World is not hosted in the US.
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.
