So I'm concerned that I am a 'free speech warrior' but ultimately it is only one facet of secular, liberal democracy I fear losing.

More about owning your own ideas - concept of intellectual property - and having the rights to dispose of them as you wish.

I haven't thought of it in that way!

I don't think 'speech' is really the issue or 'free except for a, b, c & d' gets to the root of it. Ideas & right to share
-
Interesting angle. I don't usually think of it in terms of intellectual property rights.
-
I just think freedom to express ideas & freedom to blackmail or break confidentiality are qualitatively different.
-
And we cld possibly get past the 'but what about shouting 'fire' in a crowded place' etc if we make that difference v clear

My ideas are mine. I choose whether to share them. Your brain is yours and you choose whether to use it to listen to them.
-
That is the freedom I want to defend.
