alt Hacker NewsUnfortunately political messages have an exception in the laws involved here.
Also, my understanding is that this isn’t even a case of the politicians making an exception for themselves but for this being protected speech, so there are legal issues with blocking it without the kind of majorities American congress is not capable of anymore.
I don't see how there could be an argument for protected speech here. The constitution protects your ability to petition the government, not the government's ability to petition you.
