All of these overt attempts to weed out malicious and bitter people, for some reason is misconstrude as Censorship, like someone is threatening your 1st amendment rights here in the US. It then often leads to people becoming more rude and malicious because they don't understand what 'Free speech' actually means... Wherever is that wonderful example I found earlier...

Look folks, this isn't how Communist china got started. Only someone with a shaky, non-critical view on history would say something that breathtakingly idiotic. No one is taking away your ability to be critical of SOE. You have the right to speak, but you also have the right to be responsible for what you say. If you are saying something that is overtly threatening and is going to offend a large group of people, because you yourself are kind of a child, then you wont get banned. If this policy was such that people would get banned for making wild accusations and behaving like the kind of immature man child that gaming is sterotyped for... well I can think of like 3 people that would have been banned months ago.
They are just stating that if you behave like a tit, if you actively harass or bully someone, you will get banned, making stupid comments on reddit instead of IG doesn't make you immune from recrimination.
Again: You have the right to free speech, but if you say something that is offensive, the rest of humanity has the right to step in and call you a moron, your right to free speech doesn't supersede someone else's, and other people have all the rights in the world to limit you if you are speaking counter to the public good.
