My recollection from this era is there was a common argument that provocation and boundary pushing were the way to ensure an uncensored internet. To me, it seems like that argument has been defeated by reality, but I've never seen much discussion of it. Maybe it's a last-year's-war now anyway.

Seems like a silly argument, and that the exact opposite would be true. But sometimes people want to do stuff, and rationalize it afterwards.
