You're begging the question in both your definition of free speech and assuming a certain bundle of privacy rights.
There's plenty to debate on what speech freedoms people should have and what privacy rights people should have, but it's silly to claim that there's no conflict between them conceptually; if you're stating that there's no conflict, you're assuming a certain set of each, which is just you defining the problem a certain way so that you can say it is solved. If other people don't agree with your definition of the problem, then your solution doesn't hold for them.
- mLuby 8y agoFair enough. I'm drawing a distinction between free speech (specifically parrhesia, which is orthogonal to privacy) and freedom to learn anything about anyone (which is antithetical to privacy). In journalism they are combined, usually to good effect; in doxxing the combination is bad.
