Some griefers did key on that. But overall, she was perceived as opposing free speech, which is a core value for numerous (maybe even most) Reddit users.

FWIW, harassment isn't free speech, even when you're talking about the government, and aside from basic decency, the company could be responsible, esp if it facilitated people actually following through with threats.

It is unreasonably acceptable for death, rape, and other threats to be used as a form of outspoken criticism online, and as an outspoken critic, I don't appreciate being lumped in.
