That is restricting their ability to speak freely - now they have to hide their identity for fear of physical violence!!!
- tsol 4y agoSo the free exchange of information is dangerous-- why stop here? There's a lot more protecting we can do
- sealeck 4y agoOf course exchanging information can be dangerous - e.g. when people decide to run coordinated harrassment campaigns - it can also be a wonderful, magnificent thing (e.g. distributing academic knowledge freely) but it's not all good.

- byyll 4y agoI've seen people make the argument "free speech does not mean free from consequences". This seems to be the same case here. Free speech does not mean free from the consequence of "doxxing"
- sealeck 4y agoThis argument is patently ridiculous - according to this logic everyone has "free speech" in that they are able to express themselves even if they are attacked for it with physical violence.
