Exactly! I don't respect it, but it's a very understandable response. Just stop making this controversy our problem.

The "correct" response in my eyes is to say "we are a platform, we aren't responsible for the speech of our users as long as it is legal," but that's a very expensive and profit-negative strategy these days.

> we aren't responsible for the speech of our users as long as it is legal

Except if you are hosting content, you are responsible for it. Maybe not even legally but you are still responsible. You can't simply wash your hands of content that you literally pay to host on the internet just because a user posted it.
