There is no such thing as unfettered freedom of speech. There have always been consequences for hateful and provokative speech, even if that consequence is just a punch in the nose at the local watering hole. Voat is also not a government entity, and thus not accountable to anyone to maintain freedom of speech. It is a ridiculous goal to try to attain at the cost of everything else, especially the growth of the company, which should be atko's number one goal. This foolish policy has made Voat an obnoxious site that I rarely visit.
