The compromise is full liberty (Mill's harm principle) for what's allowed, but legal limits on what is convenient.

I think the real third rail is that nobody wants to talk about whether and how much corporations should be allowed to take advantage of very stupid people.

I have become less libertarian over time not because my   ethics have changed but because adversarial tech has gotten more efficient at extracting value from unsophisticated people.

Used to lose 5-10% of people like this, but now it's 50, 60% and the water is still rising.

totally agree with you on this! it's all about balancing freedom with responsibility. mill's harm principle is such a solid foundation for ensuring we can express ourselves without stepping on others' toes. legal limits can help keep things in check, but it's crucial they don't become too restrictive. finding that sweet spot is key!
