Cloudflare's abuse policies and approach

Private companies are allowed to do a lot of immoral things because lobbying prevents the law from accurately reflecting the values of the voting public.

Nazis shouldn't get a website, even if the law permits it, and everyone has a moral obligation to fight fascism.

Everyone has a right to speech, even speech that is not good. That applies to gay people at Stonewall and the KKK marching in DC equally.

If you would restrict one then you restrict both. The freedom is absolute or it does not exist for anyone except the current favored group.

It's like laws on the treatment of prisoners of war - we don't have those rules because we love our enemy, it's because we want our brothers to not be tortured.

the legal defn isn’t really relevant. freedom has taken on new popular meanings in this culture war.
