Reacting to public outcry by cutting off a legal stressor?

I just don't think it's that big a deal.

Being hosted on someone's private server is a privilege, not a right. As far as I know the host is legally responsible for the material they dispense.

In the abstract, I believe everybody should have access to web hosting. But upholding that mission is not the job of one private company.

Anyway, I guess "content-neutral" is an easier sell for most people than "We will 99 times out of 100 let you be even if you're pretty out-there, unless people start suing us about you and it's pretty plain to see you might be a degenerate force on the social internet, in which case yeah we'll tell you to beat it".

Like, it's not a power that should be exercised liberally. But be real. It's Kiwifarms. Businesses have a right to refuse service to recreational gangstalkers
