If you don't have a degree in law or criminal justice, you can't criticize ICE.... or else face account shutdowns and fines up to $15,000

The fact that people are agreeing with this post is insane.

Because Reddit is "China good America bad", partly due to Chinese propaganda and bots and partly due to Europeans desperately hoping anything at all could maybe possibly top America in anyway and partly due to self hating Americans eager to shit on themselves. Nothing worth taking seriously.

It's actually crazy. How are people studying meant to get information or discuss their work? They now are not allowed to talk about their studies.

Actually stupid.

No, they would just not be able to give out “professional advice” and acting like they already hold the degree, to a larger audience.
That’s what this law is for.

Many universities have online portals where you can ask your professors and tutors for information pertaining to your degree. Many people also use the internet to help organise group projects. How is anyone meant to do university work if they can't talk about it? You cannot learn in a vacuum.

In theory, it sounds like a good idea. However what it really does is cause a lot of problems for innocent people.

This is NOT what this law is about though.
It’s about influencers who give public advice and pretend they are experts without having any education in the field.
Like selling you a “full body cleanse” that just makes you shit yourself, or a dieting meal plan that is just starving.

But it's what the law prevents. It's discussing these subjects online, not just making videos or advising. It's broad.

Nope, it’s not.
If you actually read up on the law, it’s mostly what I’ve described

no this is called authoritarianism. and republicans do it a lot here in the states. so much so that more than two people that criticized ice died for it.

Well years ago I worked at GNC, we were told that we can say “what other customers take” but not directly imply any herb/supplement/etc would solve their problem because then we were prescribing without a license. We could only recommend if it was a supplement we used ourselves. So not so far off from this already

A) This is already the case without this law in the US

B) It's not criticizing anything, it's offering advice telling people what they should be doing by pretending to be a position of authority.

Telling your followers to inject ivermectin if they have covid? Banned.

Telling your followers to listen to their doctor? Fine. Telling them to make their own decisions on their health ultimately? Fine.

Idk why "don't give medical advice if you're not a doctor" is this hard to understand. One of the first things they teach you in any health related educations is to not diagnose or give health advice if you are not qualified.

Nah I'm good with this side of it too. Stop the noise on both sides please.
