freeus allowed. freeusa. freecanada
but freehongkong is blocked.

a stupid move

That one is too many characters but I can do “supportcops”
they may have changed it after the outcry

She had a segment last night showing her producers exchanging messages with some nba rep about this, and how the conversation progressed until they changed it.
