Freedom of speech is a general conception of human rights, not any one particular law. Governments can choose to respect (or not!) those rights, but the idea applies to everyone.

You can't attack another user like this on HN, no matter how wrong they are or you feel they are. We have to ban accounts that abuse the site like that, so if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

Edit: actually, between "stfu" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41418393), "dumbass" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41418376) and "are you fucking retarded" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41418339) I think it's clear we have to ban your account until we get some indication that you actually want to use this site as intended.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.
