Not related to the user's comment about 'understanding' banning loli, but being unhappy with that applied to all porn due to principles. That's not how it all works.

They have an agenda, let's not pretend otherwise even if they have utilitarian value in the service otherwise. They are definitely not "pro-free speech", but they are a lot more free speech than mainstream platforms.
