Those are all excellent questions, and I've very tempted to discuss them. But on the other hand, I didn't get much sleep last night, and I'm tired. Also, in any case, I doubt seriously that any of that discussion will have any impact on the current situation. My solution (which I admit is easier for an old ~retired guy like me) is to avoid attracting attention in meatspace. I have no social media presence, in part to avoid attracting attention from my past activities. Hopefully most of my old associates think that I'm dead ;) And now that we're all wearing masks, being ~anonymous is much easier. I'm quite active online, however. As Mirimir and other personas. But there are absolutely no links to my meatspace persona. So anyway, regarding "freedom of speech on the internet", ~anonymity and compartmentalization are essential.
