but he openly advocated for it, after the Wallstreet journal got the ralph report banned off youtube not only did he say that was funny but he retweeted a call tagging the wall street journal for the same thing to happen to andy warski, he also reported metokur to twitter support more than once, even if he's joking it's pretty clear he doesn't care as much about free speech or take it as seriously as he'd like anyone to believe. He's also pushed for self censorship numerous times openly advocating that the alt-right or people like tommy robinson shouldn't say things that might get them in trouble even though he's supposed to be against hate speech laws. Sargon has shown over and over with his words and actions that he doesn't care about free speech

OK, I'll go down the rabbit hole with you on this one. You have any sources more credible than the Cow Board?

sargon's own twitter accounts: retweeting a call for the wall street journal to deplatform andy warski like they did ralph and calling for metokur to get deplatformed off twitter maybe he's joking but the fact he takes censorship so lightly really says a lot about how much he actually cares about free speech. Am I being somehow unfair by judging him by his own words and actions? he was the one that started a political movement with free speech as it's first principal and he's the one being so flippant about censorship. Also on the ralph report stream after that second image in November he says verbatim that he thought it was funny that they got removed from youtube because he didn't like that people on the stream were making fun of his wife's miscarraige and he's openly said at least twice once being on whatever stream it was that he talked to anglin that people in the chat shouldn't make edgy or nazi jokes that might bring the SJWs down on youtube streaming and superchats which is a clear call for self censorship. I'm sure you can find archives of those stream if you don't want to take my word for it.
