"Women must cover their bodies, not show skin, hide scandalous ankles, and women must look, act, and think like men to be happy. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE ARE CONSERVATIVE BIGOTS."
WHAT.

GamerGate was a response to a sex scandal in gaming back in 2014.
A guy named Eron broke up with an indie dev, and revealed in a blogpost how she had cheated on him with multiple gaming journalists. 4chan began investigating her ties to gaming news sites, and found an INSANE spider web of nepotism, collusion, and sex.
All these supposedly-competing gaming journalists were actually friends, lovers, funding each other, and talking in chat rooms about what to write about, whom to blacklist, and how to insert feminism and social justice into gaming.
These news sites responded to these accusations of collusion by publishing 20 articles at the same time saying "Gamers Are Dead", calling anyone investigating this scandal "women-hating misogynists", and feminism was the future of gaming. What followed was years of open hostility between gamers and gaming journalists, with the uproar being dubbed "GamerGate."
To this day, gamers and fandoms of pop-culture (TV, film, comics, etc) are pushing back against their hobbies being overtaken by activists who use it to send "woke" political statements... and are labelled a harrassment campaign of white supremacist incels for doing so.

While the Internet is generally seen as a beacon for information and openness, Swartz expresses concern that private companies have less restrictions on censoring the Internet than government...
"Private companies are a little bit scarier because they have no constitution to answer to, they’re not elected really, they don’t have constituents or voters."
-Aaron Swartz
He says that while proponents against censorship in the private sphere have been successful, advocates of a free Internet should be concerned about both private and public censorship efforts in the future.
Interview with former reddit CEO Yishan Wong
We stand for free speech. This means we are not going to ban distasteful subreddits. We will not ban legal content even if we find it odious or if we personally condemn it. Not because that's the law in the United States – because as many people have pointed out, privately-owned forums are under no obligation to uphold it – but because we believe in that ideal independently, and that's what we want to promote on our platform.
-Former reddit general manager:
"We're a free speech site with very few exceptions (mostly personal info) and having to stomach occasional troll reddit like picsofdeadkids or morally quesitonable reddits like jailbait are part of the price of free speech on a site like this."
"If you abandon your core values the moment they're inconvenient, they're not your values. They're your marketing." - Jon Stewart
