    Apples to oranges comparison. Facilitating speech is not automatically a neutral action. Facilitating hate speech is bad and censoring hatemongers is good. The law is irrelevant to the question of morality.

        A targeted life-threatening disinformation campaign like this is easily discernible from a personal letter. A person’s right to a apolitical, uninterrupted mail service should not supersede a group’s right to exist. A ban on gender affirming care, which was the goal of this disinformation campaign, would deny trans people the right to exist. The postal service should make the strategic decision to defend life and liberty by not spreading disinformation campaigns.
