The right to free speech also imposes an unenforced responsibility to use that speech wisely. The internet and smartphones enabled people to easily and quickly:

- Send true threats to people, which were always illegal.

- Publish things that are legal, but far more uselessly divisive and stress-inducing than if they'd needed to take time to edit it.

- Wake up and immediately read ambiguous language uncharitably as a threat.

the rise in the irresponsible publishing and uncharitable reading of speech has led more people to decide that we can no longer have nice things.
