Or rather, the speech wasn’t “free” enough.
> 8chan’s founder, Fredrick Brennan, created the site in response to what he sees as the ongoing and vast loss of free speech on the Internet. On 8chan, “anyone can say what they want and mean,” Brennan told the Daily Dot.
> Brennan now calls 8chan a “free-speech-friendly 4chan alternative.”
> He called 4chan “authoritarian” and accused it of turning into a soulless for-profit venture.
