Doxing someone is not free speech. Documents aren't just 'hacked documents' when they include private information.



The thing about free speech is that everyone has their own criteria of what should or should not be included into it.

When someone talks about "free speech absolutist", one expects they will include everything. No exceptions. After all, that's what the "absolutist" is supposed to be doing here.

If you want to add exceptions to free speech, then you're not an absolutist. You just have the same lame relativist free speech definition as everyone else. Except your criteria is different than the others. Which, I mean, no problem, but at least be honest.


If you believe that is free speech, post your SSN, phone number, and address here right now, or would you be fine if i posted them for you?


I talked about what I believe the definition of absolute free speech is. I didn't said I agree with it, or that it is what society should aim for.

Fun fact: I do agree, but I haven't said that in my previous comment.

As for my data, you're free to post it. I'm not going to sue you or anything. Maybe the HN staff wouldn't like it, but that's out of my control.
