I think where the confusion comes from is that along with many cries of "censorship", there is often a subtext of "this is illegal" or "this is not allowed".

- Snesker 11y agoI've seen that used as a straw-man in this thread over 10 times so far and not a single person who thought what github did was illegal. I'm forced wonder if insane overreactions of the people who think free speech only means the American law are part of some social conditioning project to destroy non-progressive principles. I shouldn't have to. For all the back-patting the users on HN gives themselves they sure are dumb as bricks. Also, with the notion that the subtext of it being illegal being present - I've never seen it once. In the 23 years I've been alive I've never once seen someone say corporate censorship was illegal. Heh. I'm angrier than this text reads, breh.
