> knowing that it is extremely controversial

Aside from it being sad that supporting free speech is controversial, if we assume good faith in the founders' statements then the controversy is simply the way the media has highlighted a section of the user base. Have you been on there? I haven't but I've been around long enough not to rely on the media for accurate representations of groups on the internet (or much else, to be honest.)

yeah look at the recent dumps and insight into moderation and it's quite clear supporting "free speech" was smoke and mirrors. combined w/ the security lapses it's pretty jarring.

I don't look at dumps of other's personal data, and I haven't heard about the moderation - please, without revealing anyone's private data - would you enlighten me?
