'Beyond minute categories of unprotected speech remain all sorts of uneducated, ill-informed, and conspiratorial opinions. These remain protected under the First Amendment and protected by 8chan. As Justice Brandeis reasoned, “If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.”48chan encourages vigorous debate, discussion, and changed opinions as a result of interacting through its imageboards. Unlike platforms like Facebook or Twitter, there are no “speech police” to shut down poorly formed opinions, popular conspiracy theories, or hateful monologues. Instead, this curation is left to thousands of moderators and fellow userswith the hope that better reason and enlightened wisdom will, ultimately, prevail.'
