FWIW, someone else being the morality police is going to go poorly, it 
is therefore not a good idea, and we should resist it when it comes up.

However, this should not take the form of the stupidest form of 
liberalism where the more vile the speech you defend, the more of a free 
speech advocate you are.

We decide what we ship and therefore make available to a wider audience, 
and this can not be distinct from our own values, or we spend a lot of 
time counteracting ourselves.
