I am a fan of Cyberspace Manifesto. I think one reason where normal people don't appreciate freedom of speech and computer experts do is the analogy between our own thought processes and communicating with other people.

We certainly don't want society to censor our own thoughts (with technology). But why should the government then censor willing communication between two people? From a computing perspective, those are the same.

Sadly, as was already noted, the article is nowhere close to arguing this point.
