We obviously mean freedom for individual users lacking the resources of big organisations to defend themselves and protect their own rights.

Come on this isn't a game of semantics.

The experiment referred to was one where the web was a level playing field that didn't differentiate between different classes of users. The fact you see this is as a silly semantic point underscores the original point about that experiment being over.

Edit: I can only speculate as to why people don't like this, but in case it makes a difference it's intended only as historical background for people who missed the start of the experiment.

I think business are providers not users.
