Or rather, the speech wasn’t “free” enough.

> 8chan’s founder, Fredrick Brennan, created the site in response to what he sees as the ongoing and vast loss of free speech on the Internet. On 8chan, “anyone can say what they want and mean,” Brennan told the Daily Dot.

> Brennan now calls 8chan a “free-speech-friendly 4chan alternative.”

> He called 4chan “authoritarian” and accused it of turning into a soulless for-profit venture.

For every attempt at censorship there will be those that bristle at authoritarianism and react. Then there will be those that devolve into accusing free speech supporters as supporters of specific disagreeable speech.
