    I believe under the first amendment in the US Constitution and section 2 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada you cannot silence someone’s freedom of speech/expression just because they discussed something you don’t like. This legal claim is bullshit right from the start due to constitutional protections

      Also, online discussion is not evidence. To wit:

      I murdered seven people before breakfast today. I love murdering so much!

      Even confessions are not necessarily airtight. For example:

      I shot JFK.

      Police, when you get here, please knock; the doorbell’s broken.

          Are you talking about Burstyn v. Wilson (1952)?

          Because that was about the state of New York attempting to censor a film. Not sure what case you’re referencing.

        Freedom of speech also means that individuals and companies cannot sue you for protected speech, cannot get your private data unless they have a very good reason
