4chan doesn't officially support free speech and I don't have a problem with that.
My concern is the censorship of controversial opinions which aren't mentioned in the rules and aren't breaking any law.
Quality control is obviously important for such a large site, but the posts being deleted aren't meaningless gibberish shitpostings or blatant troll threads.
This greatly bothers me because 4chan is the last popular website to offer anonymity AND a general lack of enforced political correctness. It's so important to have a website where users need not be afraid of punishment if they don't water down their beliefs. Free Speech Forums exist but they attract a very homogenous user-base and typical forum politics, whereas 4chan has a larger, eclectic community more suitable for controversial discussion/debate.
So I ask that rule-abiding, law-abiding threads not be deleted for controversial discussions or opinions, whether they're about incest or drugs or pedophilia or abortion.
