While I agree with you here, free speech also means you cannot be stripped off the service because of your ideology, views or sorts.

- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoMy knee-jerk reaction to this comment is confusion, as it sounds like you're saying you agree, but then immediately say something that directly goes against what I said. But I think you're making a distinction over what someone believes and the content they want hosted. For example, someone who waves Nazi flags simply wanting to run a non-political website about guitars. In that case, I agree. They're not hosting Nazi stuff, they're hosting guitar stuff, and the provider should not be refusing service.
- jesterson 3y agoThe things you are saying are purely subjective. What you understand under "Nazi stuff" and what I do is likely different. Therefore we can't really use those vague definitions to deny service or speech or anything, just because you (or anyone else) think it is "Nazi stuff". The only way to resolve the conundrum is to allow everything except things explicitly disallowed by law. And for those, you need court order to shut down. Otherwise we get bunch of clowns rigged with security guard syndrome shutting whatever they think is "Nazi stuff" left and right. It happens in online communities more often then not, as you likely know.
