Personnel
gollark: I mean, "free speech" in the general sense roughly just means "less censorship".
gollark: And yet that's something like half our traffic?
gollark: > anyway, free speech as i understand is just your right to speak out against the government, not to just spout random bullshitNo, not really. I mean, as a legal principle yes.
gollark: > free speech is saying "proof ?" to "hitler did nothing wrong" and not "no u", free speech has pros and consNo, free speech is just not silencing people who disagree with you, or who you disagree with.
gollark: Someone must run the bot, and a bot cannot be owner directly.
