Chilling effect has a long history of being well considered as unconstitutional harm in the courts

https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/chilling-effect/



A history of anything in the courts doesn’t seem to be given too much consideration nowadays.


Who would have standing to challenge this though?


There is no "who", once stabilizing institutions 'fall' the only remaining option is social pressure (which can come in various forms) but that does require a critical mass as it's very much reliant on network effects.
