Do we really have a great handle on things like swatting? The wave of ICO scams a few years back? Death threats to local government officials or public figures?

I see more "grudging acceptance" than any sort of good control.

And if that's what the people want, that's fine.

But in my view, if we wanted to do better on those things, we should have the freedom as a society to do those things. That's the place I argue against "free speech absolutism" from. Would we then change our mind later, or put different regulations in place? Quite likely! But that's perfectly fine. The only way to not change is to die.
