What I'm trying to say is that walking the line is an impossibility because the two are mutually exclusive. Free speech is hate speech; to promote free speech is to promote hate speech by their own admission. This necessitates that one cannot be against hate speech and simultaneously for free speech.
I agree that the two are mutually exclusive and that hate speech is free speech, but certain things let you present something a certain way in court if it comes to it. You want your ass covered if a prosecutor ever comes knocking. If you allow pretty much any speech (which honestly, IS the case on scored) but censor SEARCHING for "jew" or "nigger" or whatever it can be dressed up as "fighting hate speech" while still actually really allowing it. "Your honor, since searching for racist terms was disabled I had no way of knowing that the site was full of hate speech and racism!".
Drug dealers do similar shit too "just in case" - waaaay back in the day I knew a guy that was a coke dealer. All of the people in that group were sponsoring kids in africa/south america so that if they ever got busted "they were doing something positive with the money".
