Isn't this called aiding and abetting in most jurisdictions? Forget
about the how and think about the what. In most if not all states,
helping one or more people evade the law makes one guilty of the crime
as an accessory.
The other issue here is that most Americans have this mistaken idea
that free speech == speech without consequence. This conception is not
correct. All speech has consequence, be it social, political, or
criminal, the Constitution only guarantees that political expression
should not have criminal penalties imposed by the government or its
agents.
