So, first, the idea that anything that is possible is permissible is false on it's face.
If I don't lock my car, it's possible for you to take things out of it. That's still theft.
If I post publicly, it's possible for you to copy what I've posted without attribution. That's still plagiarism.
If I am standing in public, you can call me names. That's still rude as all hell.
The idea that anything that is possible should be permitted online is in direct opposition to thousands of years of culture, law, and custom.
