It's weird to me because the first time I ever heard someone being seriously critical of any absolute idea to free speech, at least at a high-level, was on the EFF's how to fix the internet podcast.

I'm with you. Their logic makes some sense, but it's just not practical or reasonable to me. I just don't see the slope as particularly slippery. Kiwi Farms was enthusiastically engaging in dangerous, heinous, and illegal activities.

Perhaps we do need some kind of serious due process for this kind of intervention. I'll sign that petition or forward to my reps that letter. But in the meantime, I'm happy to say bye to this scumb.
