100% Freedom of speech in the terms of the first amendment is the government not infringing on your speech (like, throwing you in jail for criticizing it)

It has zero to do with what you can say on twitter, or if the people you’re deciding to say something to band together and decide you’re an asshole who should be ignored or fired.

> 100% Freedom of speech in the terms of the first amendment

Freedom of speech is a principle, not an amendment. The first amendment exemplifies the principle of freedom of speech, but does not define the bounds of that principle.

Do you think that you should be free to say whatever you want, and the person you say it to should have the freedom to punch you in the fucking face infringed on?
