In the context of free speech, if you fear repercussions either financial, physical or social to your person from expressing yourself freely then, you’d likely self-censor either consciously or unconsciously. Privacy removes the ability for anyone to punish a person from which they don’t like the speech. Free speech is essential (although not sufficient) for a democracy to be functional because it is a medium by which people can come to a collective understanding of a given situation (collective != uniform). If you value #democracy as a model to organize society and think it is the best at guaranteeing people’s freedoms then you must support #freespeech along with #privacy.
