To understand what is going on, a summary of the legal repartee going on is as follows, written by Vox Day, who formulated the legal strategy and to my understanding, basically wrote all the legal briefs.<p>The crazy thing is that neither the lawyers nor the Trust & Safety people even read the Terms and Community Guidelines. I mean, one can excuse the gammas and the armchair lawyers for not knowing what the relevant rules and laws are, they're mostly reacting to what they've seen floating around the Internet.<p>But it's downright bizarre to me how the freaking lawyers don't even know what they're talking about. They'll write dozens of filings all based on the same false premise.<p>WE KICKED OWEN OFF BECAUSE HE POSTED HATE SPEECH ON OUR PLATFORM!<p>No, he didn't.<p>OKAY, WE KICKED HIM OFF BECAUSE HE POSTED HATE SPEECH ON INSTAGRAM AND WE POLICE OFF-PLATFORM SPEECH TOO!<p>Instagram is free.<p>WHAT? SO WHAT?<p>So Owen's Patreon account didn't fund his Instagram posts. Instagram is free.<p>WELL, UM, WE DID IT BECAUSE HE POSTED SOMETHING ON FACEBOOK!<p>Facebook is free too.<p>TWITTER?<p>That's free too.<p>WELL, HE MADE VIDEOS! ON YOUTUBE. HE FUNDED THOSE ON PATREON!<p>No, he didn't. He was monetized directly on YouTube and he never created a Patreon video project.<p>WE CAN KICK OFF ANYONE WE WANT FOR NO REASON AT ALL!<p>Allow me to introduce you to the Unruh Civil Rights Act of 1959....
