I’m talking about things such as restricting hate speech, discrimination etc. Like we did with rule 7.

    Freedom of expression is very much a two way street, and does not mean ‘free from consequences’ if someone says something vile.

    I am quite free to make rules, and enforce them, for the communities I moderate, just as someone else is free to find a forum where, for example, they can express vile racist, homophobic slurs.

    Tolerance cannot extend to tolerating others’ intolerance, or discourse is not possible.
