SI has passed through multiple asset sales, i.e., sales of the assets and not the liabilities. So that argument is moot.

Moving on, as I recall the genesis of this issue was a posting reaction on a single board? That is clearly permitted in the Terms of Use.

Even setting aside all of the above, SI and all US-based interactive websites have a broad federal immunity from liability arising from their decisions and methods used to publish, not publish or withdraw from publication third party content, pursuant to 47 U.S. 230. Post removals, posting limitations and account termination are all immunized activities, so again, the entire argument is moot.

In the end, there is nothing to be gained by debating SI's rights to operate its property as it deems appropriate. If a user wishes to revisit some posting restriction, their sole recourse is to take that up privately with the appropriate staff. As I mentioned previously, they prefer inclusion over exclusion.

FWIW,

Dave
