I absolutely agree that making false medical claims in advertising is not protected speech. Fraud and threats are already criminal and should treated as such, but the types of speech that are being censored are not primarily illegal forms of speech. The types of speech that are being censored are not limited to cases of fraud or threats, they are whatever types of speech the current executive branch deems harmful. I think that is dangerous, even if I also personally agree that those particular types of legal speech are indeed harmful.

How so? The government/corporate power does not have the power or right to dictate truth.

While there are specific laws against fraud and false advertising there is no law that what is published in the public square must be true.

From my perspective this is not a slippery slope argument as the violation of our rights are already taking place. Combined government and corporate power are already censoring legal speech. It is just more difficult to oppose because I mostly disagree with and find odious the speech that is being censored.

I think that not opposing this government censorship is a mistake and not just because of the principle.

While I do think the principle of freedom of speech, press, assembly etc are important principles, it is also true that censorship will tend to favor the right in their political aims more than it will help the left. The right has corporate and institutional power at their disposal and it is used to defend the status quo. It is the left that needs freedom of speech to disseminate their ideas. The right can simply rely on the existing power structures to maintain their ideological hegemony. It is the left must agitate and convince others that there are better ways of doing things.

My old eyes really appreciate the granularity of the font sizing options in the latest update. What a great app!

Wow! It is fixed for me now. Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for this awesome app. I really love it. You are a hero!

 

Thank you for your effort this looks to be a very nice app. I am hoping I can get this issue resolved.

Sorry if this is not the proper place for a bug report.

I am on an Android 11 phone (Moto G Power). I am unable to login because the button is off the screen. Rotating the phone disables the ability to scroll down.

I tried changing the font size and this did not decrease the size of the login buttons either.

This is exactly what I did. It is working so far.
