I think when a board is run by a large corporation, they are more cautious of things like that, and more willing to censor their user base. They are only there to make money, they have no delusions of community. Remember, we have a very rare setup here. SON is run “by the people, for the people” without anyone making a significant profit. Also, we have accountability the likes of which you will not find anywhere else. Corporate owned forums generally do what they want, without having to explain or answer to their users in any way. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/legal-actions-against-forums/116399)._
