I am very anti WEI but I can still have sympathy for anyone who is doxxed or has death threats sent to them. It's a bad proposal and it should be argued on its merits and resisted in its implementation. But even in HN threads I saw commentary on how it wasn't enough to just oppose this civilly, and that people needed to do more. I don't like the idea of people thinking that actions that threaten someone's physical safety is fair game, just because it's a terrible feature.

It's not fair game to go after random employees but this change is an extremely severe attack on all human freedom on the internet. If you are surprised by that kind of response when it's this severe, and it's an authoritarian government making the change (google, large enough corporations are governments) it should not be surprising at all.
