Wait, there's a way around this.

Open a new tab. Enter about:config

Search for this specific line: extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains

Remove any entries you feel offend. I personally clear the whole list out, no website should bypass my addons.

My opinion is that politicians want control of public opinions to better avoid criticisms, flaws and holes in their platform coming to light. If calling a politician a "failure" or "idiot" could cost you or your business & workplace major funds, why would you risk putting that to print?
I notice these laws often only target mass-market social media platforms such as FB/IG/Twitter/TikTok/SnapChat/etc.

If one has valid criticism or journalistic comments & opinions, could one ignore or workaround these laws through use of self-hosted, possibly TOR hosted, federated social media platforms like Mastodon? Original posts could be shared to masses with major difficulty in tracking the source commentator to a real identity.
