Why is it on Hacker news when a "Twitter" topic comes up we get a bunch of people pontificating as "free speech maximalists" but when a journalism topic comes up people can call journalism "doxxing" without the "free speech maximalists" making an appearence and scolding them on the evils of censorship?

Note which topics the free speech maximalists do and do not defend.

I think this is a strawman. Twitter is not attacked for prohibiting doxxes, right?

I would have thought a "free speech maximalists" would have a lot to say about every free speech topic, since they are apparently so passionate about free speech. Is using the neologism "doxxing", a term with a negative connotion, to describe journalism in line with their "maximalist" committment to free speech, for example?

Is this conversation about a journalist not an opportunity to remind us Voltaire said “I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

At the end of the day "maximal" isn't near as far in the max directory as people reading the statement expect.

This is not about what is allowed and what is prohibited. It is about how we call the thing.
