It makes it clear what kind of deal people are getting into by using WordPress, which is crucial considering that half the internet depends on it. There's no excuse for threatening to doxx the author for this, and it's ironic considering that Mullenweg himself has accused others of stepping on his free speech rights, according to his own blog.

It sad that so many people don't understand the 1st amendment. No business can curtail your first amendment rights because they are not the government. And no, twitter, Facebook, etc are not so big that it involves free speech. They aren't the government, period.

Yup. Private parties can curtail your right to free speech. But not your rights under the First Amendment.

But the government can tell a business to do it, like twitter used to do in 2020.
