A SL Forum Post on the banning of Political signs in SL


Provosky said my signs are simply self-expression.

<<"No one is going to be persuaded to vote for some politician because they saw a sign in a virtual world. It's self-expression, not persuasive.">>

And he's 100% correct. I used my parcels for self expression to express my support of Trump. I didn't think anyone would say, wow, that clenches it for me, I'm voting for Trump 

So with my signs gone, who else had their freedom of expression restricted?

I'm sure 99% of the people that saw my signs (if the textures even loaded before they moved on) couldn't have cared less.

Of the rest,

some submitted an AR,

some put up anti-Trump protest signs, 

some put up signs supporting their preferred candidate,

some IMed me thanking me for posting the signs,

some IMed me with genuine curiosity asking why the signs were there

and some just sent me hate filled IMs.

But you know what? In every case, all those person's
[03:42] BilliJo Aldrin:  freedom of expression has now been diminished, because they cannot engage with something that no longer exists.

Thus Second Life as a whole is diminished, and made less than it could be.
