Hackers have been wanting to "censor" the internet since September 1993: not to enforce top-down rules, but to keep it a group of people (hopefully all people, eventually) who respect social convention and respect each other. The group that thinks it's a free-for-all without rules is a late-coming one trying to claim the mantle of hackerdom. And in many cases, as with ESR's de-facto takeover of the Jargon File, they've succeeded in presenting themselves as the original hackers.

Don't be fooled. The technical design of the Internet and its serious non-resilience to spam, malware, and other various opportunists (because we all trusted that Internet users were reasonable people) should show you that none of this was in the original vision. "Be conservative in what you send, and liberal in what you accept from others" worked because everyone respected that without enforcement, and there was no crowd demanding the right to be liberal in what they sent.

It's a cult called Social Justice Warriors. Pretty much most of San Fran is brainwashed by them.
