At what point does a reasonable burden of context sensitivity turn into speech policing? There’s a genuine problem here. Nobody talks about free speech/expression if shushed for inappropriate language at a funeral. But a context like Twitter is unprecedented in scale/diversity.
Also unclear why you’re talking about force. I’m talking about people moderating their own speech via context sensitivity.

You said that “free speech advocates need to work harder at being more context sensitive.”. But nothing about such advocacy entails a lack of context insensitivity. Do you just mean some specific group of such people that you have in mind?
