It's just packets and packets are speech. Just like the packets used to post this embody free speech

"Free speech" is a bit of a misnomer. The valuable thing is the freedom to hear, not the freedom to speak.

With a DDOS the goal is to prevent people from reading someone's words. With harassment the goal is to prevent people hearing the targets future words.

Both are forms of censorship.
