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".

That's... a really good point. I often forget that our legal system has accepted ridiculous methods and grounds for prosecution.
