[FRIAM] "chilling effect"

[Jon Zingale]

"""
How is it epi? In both the SLAPP case and the SB8 case,
it's a directly targeted effect.
"""

I can see that I was being too clumsy. In the SLAPP case and the
SB8 case chilling is pretty straightforward, but in the case I linked[☃]
(which jumps to a highlighted section "Chilling effects on Wikipedia
users" on the Wikipedia page for *chilling effect*) I see an example
where I don't believe that Wikipedia, Snowden, nor the NSA had any
investment in chilling out Wikipedia users. Instead, it seems more like
a novel side effect, a consequence of the subject matter, many citizens
perceptions of their government, and a revelation of information.
So I suppose like anything, things may have side effects, and I am not
sure it contributes anything to mention it.

Comparing "Wikipedia Foundation versus NSA" with the *Clear Channel
memorandum*[♪] is interesting to me (a sarcastic thanks again to the
Telecomm act[⏚]). There, a decision was made to preemptively chill the
radio of its "affects and percepts"[D]. I'm not entirely sure what the
concerning response to hearing Lennon's "Imagine" was supposed to be and
less so for "She's not there" by the Zombies.
