A thought provoking article about moderating online discussion platforms, and the reasonable limits of free speech within organizational decision-making, put together by the Italian Pirate Party:

I have been a very active member of the #Italian #PirateParty.
I can say that not even one single time moderators behaved like that.
On the contrary, the used their role to impose their own personal opinions, even banning people who disagreed.
I for one was banned for 2 weeks for arguing that the #PPIT shouldn't use #YouTube or #Facebook except to drag people outside, since (back then) the party bragged about #privacy. "You don't have the moral flexibility to be a politician" they said back then.
The people who wrote the text you've found are gone long ago.
