@eff If a government or de facto governing body does not also protect our rights from being taken away *by other private parties* then the very concept of rights is useless. Speech that removes the rights of others to speak or live or pursue happiness, speech like intimidation, threat, and harassment, is not protected by current US law, and should not be supported in principle by the EFF.

If I am too afraid to express my queerness, because I've been threatened, traumatized, and attacked regularly online, both directly and indirectly, then people who want me to shut up have free speech and I do not.

Do better.
