Online Public Relations Thoughts

The convictions of the Oath Keepers yesterday in Washington DC demonstrates the limits of free speech. Violence is out of bounds and a direct attack on government is illegal.  The prosecutors were careful to delineate the line between protected utterances and those that transgress, and the jury agreed with them.  Most, if not all, PR practitioners will never confront the extremes of speech demonstrated on Jan. 6.  That's good, but the convictions are a reminder that there is not a time when anything goes.
