"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." -- Captain Picard, quoting Judge Aaron Satie (The Drumhead)
Except this doesn't apply here...but whatever. Because the material on the website, hosted by a company, owned by one of the people on the website in question, actually did call for violence pretty much throwing any chance of a "free speech" defense out the window.
^^and that is pretty much all it boils down to. You can say whatever you want in a public forum(granted talking about mostly democratic countries here) aslong as it doesn't incite violence against others, does not include slander, and some otherthings I can't think of right now.
Now the fact that this was posted on the internet complicates things slighty but everything still holds true for the most part.
