Comment on Did GitHub break your trust censoring the Feminist Language Parody?parent

You seem to believe that Github should be taking down things because "it makes it hard ... to get work done." Okay. Suppose you have some Republicans who want hosting on Github (yay Github Pages!) and they support some initiative which also, in your opinion, hinders "getting work done", for women or otherwise. Perhaps they very-publicly oppose a mandatory child-care provision in some proposed legislation, and write it on their page.

Should that be taken down too? If not, why does it differ?

What if they're hosting a website for someone, and that someone makes a public statement which is interpreted as misogynistic and wrong - e.g. Todd Akin uses Github Pages for his general campaign, and posts a defense of his nonsense about "legitimate rape". Should Github take that down?
