Freedom of speech applies to the US government and its relations with its citizens, not to private entities. What on earth are you wittering about?
Dear cnm literally yes,
but if you take "people" to be "government' in spirit,
if you apply the Golden Rule that whatever laws and rights
we want to enforce for ourselves mean to defend that for others equally,
then it becomes ALL our responsibility to respect
freedom of speech and right to petition and
not to deprive people of liberty without due process,
if we want this principle enforced consistently in society.
Where we violate the rights of others, and act like that is lawful behavior instead of abusive,
we are indirectly disparaging the integrity of these laws and rights as inviolate.
