What is permitted to be posted is pretty much up to the owner of the Web Site. It’s the government that’s not supposed to censor speech.

What governments do instead, is to tell site owners that if they don't "voluntarily" crack down on "hate speech", the government can make bad things happen. The average site owner is there to make a buck, not provide a forum for politics. Threaten his profit margin, and he will obey.

Very true especially with a government like our current one that has all of the Bill of Rights in the trash bin.
