Re speech - The government typically does not fare well when they try to restrict a persons speech. Re Swatting - because there was no proof. The forums actually had a pretty hard policy about anything that appeared to be swatting related and banned users immediately for it. With the forums taking a hard stance against swatting, with proof, why would they have been found liable. So because nothing was provable or illegal, the internet begged a corporation to remove its fire protection service. Once it was done, to the surprise of literally noone, someone burned it down. I have trouble reconciling when the community supports corporations policing speech and also complains about it. In my opinion, its based on whether the people like the speech or not. It makes me concerned that the concept of free speech, at least that which I grew up with on the early internet, is no more.
