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.

To expect to keep the same burden of context awareness as small meatspace settings is silly. The likelihood of context collapse is too high. Take it private if you don’t want burden. But to expect burden to scale to the point where conflict is entirely preempted is also silly.

Free speech hardliners have to work harder at being more context sensitive, even if dealing with issues like being on the spectrum. And outrage merchants have to grow a thicker skin/patience. Basically when half a billion people are in the same room you have to grow/learn/change

Also unclear why you’re talking about force. I’m talking about people moderating their own speech via context sensitivity.
