It is deeply offensive to the many, many activists, hackers and developers who have given their time, imperilled their jobs and sometimes risked their lives to keep governments like the United States' from clamping down on free Internet usage to describe women speaking about feminism online as a threat to 'Freedom of Speech'.</td>

<td class="snippet">For persecuted individuals, there is no eternal frontier to flee to. Certainly one could retreat by deleting one's entire online presence, but this is not the promise of a boundlessly big internet. For targets of sustained online harassment, the internet is a one-room house full of speakers blaring obscenities at them.<br>Anti-harassment can take the form of smashing the speakers or turning off the electricity. Or it could take the form of turning down the volume, throwing a blanket over the speakers, giving people noise-canceling headphones, or even building new rooms in the house. Anti-harassment is about giving the harassed space on the internet, and keeping the electronic frontier open for them.</td>

<td class="snippet">Reshaping a woman's argument to make it seem as though she said or implied something damaging to freedom of speech is one of the fastest ways to gain support for harassing her, as cybersexists frequently use their own interpretation of free speech as a way to demand that women refrain from criticizing their sexist statements. That is, sexists assume that free speech also includes the ability to be free from criticism or social repercussions. This line of reasoning ignores the reality that, in the United States, the First Amendment is related to government censorship and has nothing to do with whether women approve or disapprove of sexist statements.</td>

<td class="snippet">If you wanted to train all of society to be as impulsive and weak-willed as possible, how would you do it? One way would be to invent an impulsivity training device - let's call it an iTrainer - that delivers an endless supply of informational rewards on demand. You'd want to make it small enough to fit in a pocket or purse so people could carry it anywhere they went. The informational rewards it would pipe into their attentional world could be anything, from cute cat photos to tidbits of news that outrage you (because outrage can, after all, be a reward too). To boost its effectiveness, you could endow the iTrainer with rich systems of intelligence and automation so it could adapt to users' behaviors, contexts, and individual quirks in order to get them to spend as much time and attention with it as possible.</td>
