Re: Confessions

A side note: smug Americans on the Internet like to say that people don't have the legal right to free speech, they have legal protection against the government stopping them from speaking freely. The implication seems to be that if it's not the government, Americans don't have legal protection against it abridging free speech. I'm fairly dertain this is misinterpreting something, but they really spread it around a lot.

I've seen a fair amount of people try to stretch the US definition of hate speech too. It's really surprising how little is covered.

Re: Confessions

It's not being misinterpreted at all. You have the right to speak freely (within certain parameters) in public spaces and in government spaces. You don't have the right to speak freely in private spaces. This is why it's legal for your place of work to fire you for, say, ranting about your job on Facebook.

I would argue that this is a completely valid understanding of the legal right to free speech

whether there should be a political right to free speech is a more vexed but valid question

Re: Confessions

That's pretty much my understanding of how free speech works, right there. If I don't like what you're saying, I can kick you off my property. I'm not stopping you from speaking your mind somewhere else. Free speech doesn't mean people are obligated to listen to or facilitate the speech in anyway. People are free to disagree with someone, to dislike them for what they say, and even refuse to work with them or boycott their businesses. If they didn't have the right to do that, it would be their free speech being impinged.
