"No bullying or harrassment policy"

Lol.

That could mean taking down thousands of "news" pieces that bully or harrass their subjects. Of course, such polices are only intended to be selectively enforced against the little guy.

Was this already mentioned in this thread? I could see this film alone pissing off some people off.

The Siege at Ruby Ridge

Directed by Roger Young
Starring Randy Quaid

Original release May 19, 1996
The Siege at Ruby Ridge is a 1996 television film directed by Roger Young.
The footage originally aired as a two-part CBS miniseries entitled Ruby Ridge: An American Tragedy on May 19 and May 21, 1996.[1] It was based on the book Every Knee Shall Bow by reporter Jess Walter.[1] The miniseries was edited together to become the film, The Siege at Ruby Ridge.

The film is a docudrama about the confrontation between the Weaver family and the US federal government at Ruby Ridge in 1992, as well as the events leading up to it.

Cast
Laura Dern as Vicki Weaver
Randy Quaid as Randy Weaver
Kirsten Dunst as Sara Weaver
Ruby Ridge
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Ridge
Ruby Ridge was the site of a deadly confrontation and siege in northern Idaho in 1992 between Randy Weaver, his family, and his friend Kevin Harris and agents of the United States Marshals Service (USMS) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The events resulted in the death of Weaver's son Sammy, his wife Vicki, and Deputy U.S. Marshal William Francis Degan.

At the subsequent federal criminal trial of Weaver and Harris, Weaver's attorney Gerry Spence made accusations of "criminal wrongdoing" against every agency involved in the incident: the FBI, the USMS, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), and the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) for Idaho.
At the completion of the trial, the Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility formed a Ruby Ridge Task Force to investigate Spence's charges. The 1994 task force report was released in redacted form by Lexis Counsel Connect, an information service for attorneys. It raised questions about the conduct and policy of all the agencies.

The Ruby Ridge incident, the 1985 MOVE conflagration; and the 1993 Waco siege, involving many of the same agencies and even the same personnel, caused public outcry and fueled the widening of the militia movement. To answer public questions about Ruby Ridge, the Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Government Information held a total of 14 days of hearings between September 6 and October 19, 1995, and subsequently issued a report calling for reforms in federal law enforcement to prevent a repeat of Ruby Ridge and to restore public confidence in federal law enforcement.
