Of course you know this is not true. There have been many petabytes of

There are some philosophical discussions to be had here around "freedom
from" and "freedom to", maybe. As one example, for a long time there
weren't rules about what side of the road you drive on. It just wasn't
necessary. Over time that changed, obviously, and the rules of the road
we have now make driving much safer, and that safety facilitates more
real freedom for everyone than having no rules would.
The risks and realities of the modern web are very different than they
were 20 years go, and it's reasonable - and should be expected, IMO -
that the web's rules of the road should have to grow and adapt as well.
For what it's worth, I think you're making a leap to "mandatory" here
that is not supported by the proposal, but you do have a good point
about the cost of participating in speech that's worth digging into, so
here's a question:
If you run an ASP.NET site straight out of VS, you get HTTP-only, and
lots of developers do this. Same thing AFAIK with pretty much all the
serve-what-I-have-up-now tools on Linux, python, node, whatever. Do we
have a clear sense of the impact this has on developers, and how to
address that?
