"but freedom of speech!" he says, to a group of people that still:
- is too poor to live decently ;
- gets more murdered by cops ;
- doesn't get appropriate medical care ;
- is much, much more likely to get attacked physically and morally everyday ;
- had to give up privacy because of the two previous reasons ;

The Privileged Man's priorities are everything - but you. Of course if you're too loud he'll kindly ask you to die more quietly, so his voice is easier to hear.

"but freedom of speech let's you defend yourself and convince people!" he will, understandably, argue.

No. That'd be great. That'd be amazing.
People have cognitive biases. They have ideologies they're ready to kill for even if you empirically prove them wrong. Religion is a perfect example.
People aren't rational machines and will burn you at the stake if that's what they want. Free speech won't save anyone against someone that doesn't want to understand.

Privileged man sees free software made to help a group of people ;

Privileged man owns software, shits on the group it was helping, decides it's all about him and removes features that are not strictly made for his issues ;

Group tells him to go fuck himself instead, privileged man writes a 67 pages blog post about how he's being censored and we're breaking the federation ;

We've all​ left or died, privileged man wonders why and says we should speak up in public.

If you post flashing or fast moving gifs, mark them as NSFW and put a warning in the text. Using a CW does not hide the image, so you need to use the NSFW function.

Do not use flashing or fast moving gifs as your avatar.

Observe those rules & reblog to save a life

and I mean that literally, flashing, strobing or fast moving gifs can trigger seizures and seizures can be life threatening

Partly legacy.

Partly people doing the wrong thing and storing passwords as other than hashes.

Partly cargo culting.
