What? How does "free speech" reward seniority, protect underperforming colleagues, prevent negotiating individually, etc?

That is why I said make the appropriate changes.

- I don't want free speech because it is unfair to award lazy thinking free riding off established publications.

- I don't want free speech because it is often exploited by terrorists.

- I think people should be free to say things but I don't think it should grant them special protection from the government.

etc.

It isn't an exact comparison but that also isn't the point.

You're right, it's not a comparison at all.
