I want to point out that moderation of comments is not an attack on freedom of speech. What they allow on their websites is their own business. You can voice your opinions through other means, no matter how vile and sickening they might be. However, just remember: just because you have the right to say something does not mean you should say it! Also, they are removing hate speech. This generally means vile comments, whether they are about women, minorities, immigrants and refugees. I'm sure you get the idea, in fact, from the tone of your post I get a rather chilling impression that you think it is fine to say such things. Remember "political correctness" never hurt anyone. People like Donald Trump, Marine Le Pen, the Pegida thugs, the fascists in Greece, most certainly have said things and done things that have caused and exploited divisions, stigma, and violence. The tone of this post is disturbing. You are deliberately conflating the issues of the freedom to say something and the power of the governors of public spaces to make them safe places to inhabit.
