<td class="snippet">To claim that there’s some sort of equivalence between the coordinated attack on Net neutrality and digital freedom going on across the world and the uninterrupted misogyny of comment-thread mouth-breathers doesn’t just take the biscuit, it pinches the packet and dribbles ugly, bile-flecked crumbs into the keyboard. It is deeply offensive to the many, many activists, hackers and developers who have given their time, imperilled their jobs and sometimes risked their lives to keep governments like the United States' from clamping down on free Internet usage to describe women speaking about feminism online as a threat to 'Freedom of Speech'.</td>

<td class="snippet">For persecuted individuals, there is no eternal frontier to flee to. Certainly one could retreat by deleting one’s entire online presence, but this is not the promise of a boundlessly big internet. For targets of sustained online harassment, the internet is a one-room house full of speakers blaring obscenities at them.<br>Anti-harassment can take the form of smashing the speakers or turning off the electricity. Or it could take the form of turning down the volume, throwing a blanket over the speakers, giving people noise-canceling headphones, or even building new rooms in the house. Anti-harassment is about giving the harassed space on the internet, and keeping the electronic frontier open for them.</td>

<td class="snippet">Reshaping a woman's argument to make it seem as though she said or implied something damaging to freedom of speech is one of the fastest ways to gain support for harassing her, as cybersexists frequently use their own interpretation of free speech as a way to demand that women refrain from criticizing their sexist statements. That is, sexists assume that free speech also includes the ability to be free from criticism or social repercussions. This line of reasoning ignores the reality that, in the United States, the First Amendment is related to government censorship and has nothing to do with whether women approve or disapprove of sexist statements.</td>

<td class="snippet">So a better portrait of the troll-evoking design is effortless, consequence-free, transient anonymity in the service of a goal, such as promoting a point of view, that stands entirely apart from one’s identity or personality. Call it drive-by anonymity.</td>

<td class="snippet">...women and girls who attempt to express themselves online find that their words and images are sexualized or incorporated into a violent or manipulative framework. Women's online presences have often been grotesquely transformed for the purposes of humiliation, shame, and harassment.</td>
