Freedom of speech has to mean freedom from consequences; consequences are the only thing you can be free from.

There might be some difference between “consequences to the message” and “consequences to the speaker” but I’ve never seen anyone try to tell those apart.

Then right to free speech only protects you from government consequences.

Yes, I think that's the right way to put it. The xkcd comic people link doesn't say that though…
