It is not in response to speech that makes people feel uncomfortable.
Instead it is in response to people attempting to dox you, target your friends and family and children, as well as possibly people's workplaces, and in the most extreme cases, make threats or attempts on one's life.

If your family gets threatened, and your children get stalked, due to things that you say, then in those cases I would not describe the area of public discourse being open.
All the things that I have described, are a threat to free speech, even if it isn't literally the government stalking down children, due to dislike of things that people are saying.
- hsod 5y agoSeems like a bit of a motte and Bailey. Obviously it’s wrong to stalk peoples children. How often is this really happening? Again, catastrophizing
