That's my point. If you value the principle of free speech, it doesn't mean you automatically value every kind of speech. You may argue for free speech but against the hate speech already spoken.

So, why aren't ACLU doing it? From what limited overview I have as a non-American, the ACLU is one of the big names in what I will broadly call "support for democracy". This seems like a worse move than they could have made.
