In the story people are warned when nothing bad was coming, but Republicans have been led by evil people since at least Reagan

Republicans are the ones who was really calling wolf with all their fake panics, but nobody ever calls them out for it

I already mentioned the obvious exceptions (lying to cause certain types of harm) but few western countries allow penalties for anything outside those exceptions

Tell me where fiction is illegal to publish

In legal terms it is (with the obvious exceptions for impersonation, defamation, etc)

But in private forums? Mods can be however strict they want

Absolutely not you dimwit.

I run a security related subreddit (cryptography). A false sense of security from wrong answers can literally kill

Kinda - the dev team was external and had already started the project when Twitter offered funding for an open protocol based version of Twitter, and selected the current team to do it (so Jack could avoid moderation duties, lol)
