Does it really matter what the ideas of some small group (as far as I know ineffectual) thinks or writes? How can their ideas/speech be more dangerous than limitations of speech on the web?

I have been following this story, and each time a corp does this, Daily Stormer, a site 99% of people would never have any interest in, is framed and reinforced as an important piece that represents all our free speech (and braoder rights).
