    I mean technically it’s the free speech

    Legally, yes. Ethically, definitely no.

    How most of society uses that term is not in the legal way, but in the ethical way, which is a topic all on its own; a weird disconnect.

          Tell that to, I dunno, everyone else.

          They certainly think so.

          I’ve been wary of corporations since I first read Neuromancer.

      And you get these smooth-brain takes like “Only the government can take away your free speech” because people think that “freedom of speech” and “the First Amendment” are one and the same.
