I guess during Covid it was allowed, but now they have to specify what type of masks anyway since there’s still people, paranoid and afraid of getting sick, but if you’re wearing a clown mask, that would be perfectly understandable why you can’t

If the protests are in service of the police state it's cool, wear masks all you want, as in the 529 riots of 2020 , or ones to oust Trump or whatever, but if the protests are against the administration helping kill 50k civilians in Gaza, we need your face visible so we can use facial recognition software & put you in a database for potential prosecution. See how that works?

Well common sense really why is this surprising? Vandals used this to their advantage since it covers the face they are slightly less likely to be recognized after doing something criminal.

There are banks that have long said that you can't enter with a hat or sunglasses on. But masks are fine. LMAO.

[msc545]

Sure, let' also make it illegal for Proud Boys and their ilk to wear masks. Good luck with that.

[ChinaGrove]

So this has nothing to do with masks?

[msc545]

@ChinaGrove I walk into banks all the time with sunglasses.

[msc545]

Read what I wrote.

[ChinaGrove]

I never said all banks, just some. But those same banks HAVE to allow masks.

[msc545]

@ChinaGrove Banks are private property. Nobody forces banks to allow masks. On public property, wearing a mask or not is arguably free speech.

[ChinaGrove]

Remember back when Twitter didn't allow free speech? Remember when Elon bought the site and the Dems shit their pants because they hated free speech? Banks are private, but they know better than to go against the machine.

[msc545]

@ChinaGrove You can pretty much do what you want on private property. On public property free speech laws apply.

[ChinaGrove]

But not on Twitter.

[msc545]

@ChinaGrove The people who own Twitter can, and why does Twitter even matter in this discussion?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

After Jan 2025 people will be required to wear mask again.

[msc545]

Unlikely.

That's why it was amazing 7-11 allowed people in the store during Covid.

[msc545]

Their choice
