only physically safe
People are only physically safe behind the safety of their computer screens, they are neither emotionally or psychologically safe. It can be very intense personally. Ok, it is not like when swords were carried and interaction had to be much more careful and civil in choice of words or you end up in a duel with a sword potentially up your ass, but it is still real visceral human interaction. This is humanity up on our computer screens not pixels. There is a tremendous opportunity for honesty of expression and risk taking in expression. And yeah there is a downside in that everyone gets to expose their latent sociopathic tendencies, but the freedom is worth it.
So "yes we can't" to censorship already.
