The problem is that the US has outsourced hate speech laws to "the market". Instead of the government deciding what can be said, it is now corporations subject to the forces of capitalism. To have any kind of reach to exercise your freedom of speech, you need social media. Your own site or any of the free speech absolutists options wouldn't get you too far (and they also contribute to radical bubbles, but that aside). This has always been true, but before it was TV Networks and other big media corporations deciding what to platform. Free speech with reach has always been an illusion. But also, even the social media giants have issues enforcing their rules consistently. The same hole on the law exists for Kiwi Farms. It's a website so vile, most corporations that aren't under obligation to provide services wouldn't - because it makes them look really bad. Cloudflare has been getting away with ignoring these forces for a while, but the heat's on. (Though interestingly, when it was about sex work, Cloudflare did not fight on their customer's behalf.) I would really rather the US figures out a way to capture websites like Kiwi Farms in their legal framework, like most other countries in the world would.
