      There are people right now going, "Hey, is it really worth giving up freedom in exchange for not having me make your life online hell?"

      "Sure, I can call you a bitch and a slut and a hundred racial slurs, but you're free to say anything I can't terrify you out of saying."

      People who have never felt safe enough to be free to speak their minds are forever at the mercy of those who feel secure saying anything.

      People who want to make every site their platform and every user their audience think everyone else should be their "free speech" ally.

      But the person who thinks every doorknob is an invitation is a passionate if inadvertent advocate for locks.

      And if your choice is between no locks or overly restrictive locks... well, it all hinges on how dire the situation is, doesn't it?

      If you want the internet to remain free of locks, you have to treat it like the kind of community where nobody has to lock their door.

      The more you barge into other people's spaces to insist that your freedom of speech means you get to do so, the less they'll care about it.

      The less you respect social boundaries for social reasons, the more people will have to resort to technical and legal boundaries.

      So far a basic rule of the internet has been that communities get defined by their worst members.

      Communities that tolerate sexism, white supremacy, rape culture, et cetera, push out the people who don't tolerate those things.

          Communities that have little or no moderation are ceded to the worst elements almost automatically (see: news site comments).
