View submission: The history of the /r/xkcd kerfuffle.
this is such a wildly inappropriate response to the situation and just breaks so many rules about discourse. You can't honestly believe that freedom of speech is in question here, the government has nothing to do with this situation. And, under the current rule, xkcd is being associated with subreddits that I'm sure Randall Munroe would vehemently disagree with. Stop trying so hard to be a vulcan and just look at the situation with general morals.

It's not freedom of speech from a legal perspective. It's got nothing to do with the government. Of course. It's about freedom of speech from a censorship perspective.
I'm not being a vulcan (is that a bad thing?). I'm seeing beyond the end of my nose which apparently you associate with being from Vulcan. You can't put in a rule that tells people their sub-reddits must do as they're told by the subjet they're writing about because you'll be fixing a small issue but creating a bigger one.
On planet Vulcan they don't like to do that.
