I think part of the Freedom of Speech is about people having
the right to make their own decisions about what content they
deem appropriate for display. I would personally consider it
unfortunate if the Freegle maintainer were to change the design
of his site based on someone else's complaint that his search
results were offensive.

Suppose I were to make a public request that any content that
was critical of human rights violations in China be hidden away
in a similar fashion? It would be a suggestion made in the best
interest of the people, of course.
