That's technically true, but the Patreon CEO has claimed that they're committed to free speech, which is false if they're going to kick out screaming lunatics who are protected under the definition of free speech. If so they shouldn't get credit for it.
- btym 9y agoThere is no single definition of free speech. Even the relatively permissive American definition of free speech has exceptions for hate and violence.
- brandonhsiao 9y agoWhen an American company says they support free speech, everyone assumes they mean the American version. Which, incidentally, does not include exceptions for "hate speech": https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2017/06/19/supreme-court-unanimously-reaffirms-there-is-no-hate-speech-exception-to-the-first-amendment/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201...
