"Inviting everyone in your circle to go participate in illegal activities is much more likely to be banned."

Looting and arson are illegal activities, and happened at many BLM protests.


Okay, here's the thing: if you encourage people to go do something legal, you should be fine. If something illegal then happens at that otherwise legal rally, that's for the authorities to sort out, but if you didn't encourage it here? Should be fine.

If you encourage people to go to a rally and specify they should bring bricks, tear gas, and/or fire-starters, that's when you're getting into trouble because you are right on that fine line of inciting illegal activity.

If you encourage them to go to the rally and use said accoutrements in illegal fashion (assault, destruction of property, etc), yeah, you're now over the line, I'd guess.

All of this is speculation: I'm not a volunteer or staff here.
