I was thinking about how Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn's visit to the UN may have actually been illegal and in violation of the Logan Act as it amounted to asking foreign powers to force the US into a specific decision on the debated controversy of controlling 'hate speech' on the internet.
There is no signs that they are going to face any prosecution or get in any trouble at all... perhaps there is a good reason for this? The Logan Act specifies that such communications can only be done by people 'authorized by the US,' so were Anita and Zoe actually authorized? Perhaps on behalf of the CIA or some comparable agency? I only say the CIA because I know they have a long history of getting agents and assets involved in the UN.
Anyway, just a thought.
