  • Lots of people say that want total freedom for anybody to post anything, but it becomes clear almost immediately that it’s completely unsustainable. Spam, CSAM, and other illegal stuff has to be moderated or users leave and the admins get in legal trouble.

    What most people mean by “free speech absolutism” is “I want to be able to say stupid, offensive shit without being held accountable.” Even if that’s not your intent here, that’s the prevailing interpretation, so you’re being judged on that.

  • Laws will vary widely from state to state, but in most (many? some?) US states, the “sales tax” is more accurately titled “sales and use tax.”

    You may be asked on your year-end tax return to list anything purchased out of state that was brought into your state for use, and to pay the appropriate tax on that.

    In my state, it’s on the honor system. So almost entirely unenforceable, especially for small items. Look up the laws in your area, though.

    To sum up: technically, probably not; practically, probably so. This is not tax advice.
