> But you do kind of need some sort of DDoS protection if your speech is unpopular enough
True, but nobody is obliged to supply that. If your speech is so unpopular that none of the anti-DDoS services in the market wants to protect it, maybe you have to build your own? Or maybe you need to have a serious think about why what you're saying might be so universally unpopular?

@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz I mean, the only example of someone being denied DDoS protection that I can think of is KiwiFarms. And I don't really care what happens to them. AFAIK no socially valuable speech happens there, just doxxing and bullying. And if it does it could just as easily happen elsewhere. But theoretically it could happen to others. Maybe there should be a neutral public DDoS protection service, like the fire brigade or police.
