Reminds me of Amendment I misconceptions. Often times, people land themselves in trouble when they misinterpret its meaning. In this case, the site has any right to remove you if they please. Like Private Property at a Mall. Sure, you can go on it, shop, and the like. But, if they see fit, you can be removed for any reason (even though, this doesn't happen often). On VGC, stuff like racism, sexism, and any kind of bigotry isn't going to be allowed. Ever. If we open this idea of "free speech", it becomes a tricky business.

Besides, as others have pointed out, sites without a set restriction of speech end up being cesspools (YouTube/WCCFTech).

In other words, freedom is but an illusion because it is always subject to something. A condition, proviso, rule, situation etc.

Here we are not free because it's a private site, in the streets we are not free because what we do there is subject to a country's set of rules. Even living is subject to biological rules (we don't freely decide to be born and when we are born we can't stay alive as we are doomed to eventually die).

We were never free to begin with. Poor humans who seek a freedom they can never obtain.
