In the announcement thread[1] commentators are pointing out all the places where Reddit appeals to free speech, like their rules[2] or Alexis Ohanian literally calling it "a bastion of free speech on the World Wide Web"[3] in direct contradiction to spez's "Neither Alexis nor I created reddit to be a bastion of free speech."

If you're a public figure (with archive.org if you publish anything on the web), you need to say you changed your mind when you change your mind. This "we were always..." thing politicians do just looks silly.
