I read it as... 20 years ago we were the ones being censored so we created a free speech hosting. But now that it's our side doing the censorship, we're not so sure anymore.

You should probably try reading it again, because the point seems to have flown over your head

Agreed- They're going to capitulate to law enforcement without a court order if they don't like your politics... or if it's inconvenient for them.

Could you please stop posting in the flamewar style to HN, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

> When we cooperate with law enforcement, we do not do so blindly. We review their activities, both for abuse of power and to make sure proper processes are followed to protect our members’ rights. Such things are vanishingly rare, not (as they are sometimes depicted) the default. So if you’re expecting that we will automatically say, “Shove it, coppah!” anytime the police come calling about your site, we’re not the right service for you.
