    Meanwhile all the people who were arrested and charged unfairly have had their lives completely upended.

    Some may sue the government, and possibly get justice, but that’ll take years and they’ll be targeted by bootlickers and the US-backed media.

    The government knows it’ll be overturned but in the time it takes, they can use it to suppress legitimate free speech and target the groups they don’t like.

    It’s all about disrupting speech the government doesn’t like now.
