ACLU Gives Taylor Swift a Warning for Trying to Silence Critic

2017-11-07 3

So it sounds like Taylor Swift just got a warning from the ACLU.

It’s a complicated story that all started when a blogger wrote an article titled “Swiftly to the alt-right: Taylor subtly gets the lower case kkk in formation”… and it talks about how the pop star’s silence regarding politics could be construed as her lending support to white nationalists.

Of course he lawyers were unhappy, so they fired off a letter to the site demanding for it to be taken down, calling it replete with demonstrable and offensive falsehoods.

The site that published the article shared the letter with the ACLU and they are now defending the blogger against any legal threats, countering that in the eyes of the organizations, the article is a mix of political speech and critical commentary that falls within the protections of the First Amendment.

Swift has yet to respond to the ACLU’s letter but we can imagine she’s not happy.
