It’s interesting how many revolutions and even small efforts surrounding the concept of freedom very quickly go from “freedom” to “no actually I mean freedom for things I like”.

It’s a constant pattern.

Principles are hard I guess.

I know. So many platforms don't provide freedom for CSAM.
I think there is space in “things that are illegal / harm” and other choices.

Freedom in general is always a compromise to some extent.

Naw most people have concepts about freedom and harming others like you describe.
"no actually I mean freedom for the things most people like"?
I mean freedom that doesn’t violate other people’s freedoms, like your CSAM example.
