I think it may be a bit overboard comparing merely unwanted articles
to some of that stuff. (The rest of your point is entirely correct -
free content means freedom to do things people won't like as well as
things they will like.)
Yeah, basically we should not be handing hate speech, personal
attacks, etc, that we have deleted to anyone. That's republishing and
would expose us to secondary liability if there are legal problems.
