As Americans stew over the looming risk of job-stealing AI and data centers in their back yards, the feds are raising the alarm about a new category of threat, documents obtained by WIRED show.

Sure it counts, getting out of indeterminate time pre-trial holding with a payout after the state has charged you with a felony is a hell of a dice roll, compared to the alternative of not exercising free speech in the first place.
yeah not every defendant has the resources to contact the right legal help to get the detention overturned or compensated
like, say you get held without bond for 2 or 3 weeks, then released, you might lose your job or miss paying rent or any number of other real world effects, this has an obvious chilling effect on speech
Counting or not counting prosecutions that end with the defendent vindicated and almost a million dollars richer?

Also this only works as long as the legal system isnt taken over.
