I want to get y’all thoughts on it. I want to avoid having 5,000 rules that are impossible to follow, but this one seems prudent.
Just a simple [Satire] in the titles would be enough.
Edit: I won’t add a rule about a satire tag.

It was a request for the court to hear the case (a petition for certiorari). The court denied cert and didn’t hear the case, therefore the lower court ruling stayed in place. From Wikipedia "The parody page, which strongly resembled the real page, had led to Novak’s arrest in March 2016 and a subsequent trial for disrupting public services, which resulted in Novak’s acquittal.[1] Novak then brought suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for retaliation and prior restraint. An initial decision of the Sixth Circuit in July 2019 allowed most of the suit to proceed, leading to a February 2021 ruling that Novak’s arresting officers both had probable cause and were protected by qualified immunity, which the Sixth Circuit upheld in April 2022. "
Ah, so the state-backed harassment is working as designed.
Depends. Nowak had the charges against him dismissed. He then sued the police. He lost that case when it got to the Supreme Court and they denied cert.
Right, so they harassed him with impunity. The harassment is the point.
