Prisonpost

A form of goalpost manipulation similar to fedposting but extended to all kinds of illegal acts, particularly non-violent crimes and actions: intentional civil disobedience, posts defending drug trafficking, advocacy for non-violent sedition, insurrection, or treason, and other activities that could attract legal attention. The prisonpost is the moving standard of what's "safe" to say or do online—a boundary that shifts as platforms change policies, as laws evolve, as enforcement priorities shift. What was protected speech yesterday is a crime today; what was ignored last year is prosecuted this year. The prisonpost traps those who don't notice the movement until it's too late.
Example: "He'd been posting about drug decriminalization for years, never imagining it would be prosecuted. But the prisonpost had moved—new administration, new priorities, new interpretations of old laws. His decade-old posts were suddenly evidence, suddenly crimes. The post had shifted, and he hadn't noticed until the knock came. Prisonpost had done its work: moving the line, then punishing those who crossed it."
