Only chiming in to point people to a RG draft that takes the human 
rights approach to this question, framed as "free association and the 
right to protest":

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-hrpc-association/

I'd encourage anyone interested in these broader questions to join the 
HRPC list and session at 117 to bring new work, ideas, etc.

Best,
