You don't need to listen to the terrible things they're saying.

You don't need to read all the spam that would show up in your inbox if not for those censorious filters!

There's a difference between filtering incoming information and preventing someone from sending it in the first place.

Your rights stop where mine begin.

So you are free to send spam. I'm free to refuse it. I'm not required to transport your junk if I don't want to.

But Cloudflare should be required to transport 8chan's junk? What exactly are you arguing?
