Good. That is free speech! Would rather them censor even more people's political opinions? Because I, personally, feel that any censorship of political speech is a loss, regardless of what the views are.

Although, full disclosure, I may be somewhat biased on this one, as one of the worst experiences of my life started with being censored by the left for extending my beliefs in freedom of speech, information, and expression (including in the context of piracy) to the distribution of child pornography, something that may fall under this type of discussion. Also, I was even censored for trying to change those views, in many other places on Reddit too. So, although I would still probably disagree with censoring such discussion either way, the fact that censoring such discussions has also resulted in me being censored many times (which indirectly led to suicidal thoughts and, uh, this, which I don't really want to talk about), makes me especially not amiable to pushing for more censorship of it.
