You weren't just "oh, I don't know what the law is, what could they be," You used the fact that laws limit speech to try to make a point But now that they aren't limiting speech, you don't know the laws and can't talk about themhttps://twitter.com/Sigismond_bis/status/1361948050210521093?s=19 …

They DO limit free speech, you cannot publicly display someone's address, and yes I'm using it to make a point about consistency ; if you can't reveal an address, why can you reveal other purely private matters. I don't dispute if you actually can or not

"If you can't legally reveal an address, why can you legally reveal a name" is a legal question. Either you care about the law or you don't. Caring selectively is ridiculous.

I care. I made a point about consistency. I didn't make a point about what law actually says. Easy enough.

If you don't actually care what the law says, then you don't care about the law.

I do care, I just did not make a point about it.

I made a point about what it SHOULD say in my humble opinion

Your opinion is bad, and mindless "logical consistency" when making laws is an aesthetic preference from nerds that has no actual moral or practical value

Laws do not need to be consistent? Interesting

Lol what you're talking about isn't even "inconsistency", just SCOPE You haven't even given a definition of "private information", just asserted it as though it were obvious

And the idea that something that involves your personal life is automatically "private information" is absurd What if someone cheats on their wife by parading their mistress in front of everyone at the office Christmas party, then feels bad and tries to kill the story

Anyway to answer your question, no, laws don't have to be consistent They have exceptions and qualifications and ask that shit both written into the statute and carved out by case law all the time That's half the fun

I don't think "anti-doxing laws" that specifically prohibit sharing certain specific facts about someone constitute some kind of logical inconsistency with the First Amendment But I also don't actually care
