Guess this guy finally realized that a free for all model is not feasible.

#3Further in the thread he names some banned accounts that will be reinstated.

It's impossible to detect negative sentiment purely by text. It's an unsolvable problem.

It's more fundamental than that. Some forms of speech can indirectly or directly limit the speech of others. Free speech absolutism in an unachievable panacea; it is a logical fallacy.
