#2I really, really like it. Thank you guys.
Hate speech, yeah, free speech. But you are not free of the consequences.

#3Somewhat dichotomously, I agree with every position mark takes in the linked post, but at the same time, I'm quietly waiting to see where Daily Stormer ends up landing, so that I can start treating them as the 'real' bastions of free speech, and very likely start throwing them my business.
It isn't because I'm sympathetic to the nazis in this scenario, but if you're trying to position yourself as "the free speech registrar", but draw the line at white supremacy because you're in an interracial marriage, then the signal I get from that is that you clearly don't cherish all free speech, and gives me pause that one of my community sites might end up running afoul of whatever those arbitrary policies are in the future.

#5> It even means a restaurant should be able to refuse to seat (pick one): black people, white people, males, redheads, left-handed people or introverts. Whatever. They probably won’t stay in business very long, it’s a form of corporate Darwinism.

Well unless, racism, islamophobie, or antisemitism are en vogue, then the minority is screwed.

#8In an earlier post (https://www.easydns.com/blog/2017/09/06/why-does-easydns-pro...) supporting free expression, EasyDNS says that they will only refuse service to sites that advocate or encourage "physical violence or harm toward an identifiable minority." I have never been to the DailyStormer site, so I don't know if they meet that criteria. If they don't, EasyDNS, while well within their rights, is not living up to their own standards.

"Free speech" usually refers to government interference to speech, why should a business be required to make what they see as a bad business decision?
