Such a delicate balance.

The US 'free speech over everything', also allows anti-science and conspiracy theories.

But this UK example, seems to be a good example why allowing all the US Crazy is better option.

What exactly is the example?

Sorry, I'm in the UK so I haven't read the article that the author has decided to block my access to.

That block is the example.

The author has said, he blocked it because of UK regulations.

If UK is making authors be defensive and block their own stuff, or have legal charges, it is little backwards to blame the authors for the blocking.

Yes, well, the author seems to be blocking access to make a point about being forced to block access. Which is a bit, you know. Really? OK, I don't need to read your stuff, I can read literally hundreds of thousands of other pages on the internet without their authors throwing a tantrum.
