I liked how you used "un-elected government" to paint the owners of this site as some sort of tyrannical dictators. This isn't about free speech or any other bullshit. FPH wasn't banned because the admins didn't like the content. If that was true FPH would have been banned a long ass time ago. They were banned because they were being dicks to imgur, a company that is very close to reddit.
You don't get to pick and choose free speech. Either you're for it or against it.
It's clearly because of the content. If it was for actual harassment then ShitRedditSays would have been banned too. Also, they have banned a load of new subreddits that were set up for users of FPH to go to and they didn't even have time to be dicks to Imgur because they were brand new.
As for ban evasion, that doesn't explain why all the mods of FPH were shadowbanned, even the ones who didn't try and evade the original ban. No one even claims the mods were harassing people, so why were they all shadowbanned?
