Inventing Positive Trolling

Freedom IS complicated. That’s why Germany outlaws certain forms of speech, & why the EU’s anti-hate speech legislation is tricky to navigate. I invented Positive Trolling as 1 solution. Another: Threat Free Speech Systems, which I also invented. Freedom Isn’t Free.

This passage captures the origin claim for the concept that would eventually crystallise as Infolklore. The author positions Positive Trolling alongside a companion invention — “Threat Free Speech Systems” — as two complementary solutions to the tension between free speech and the weaponisation of information. The framing “Freedom Isn’t Free” rejects naive libertarianism: Infolklore requires active, disciplined effort.
