Policing the speech of other people = authoritarianism, yes.

Copyright is a government-granted (and enforced) monopoly. Under anarchy, no one would benefit from copyright protection, at least not the same way we have it now.

People could voluntarily police their own speech to stay in an association... but I don't know how/if that would scale.
