That's the thing, though - they are still "protected speech" under 1A. That's why laws banning it get struck down.

If you're going to lawyer every word here, I'll be more precise. I mean immune from legal redress, not "protected" per 1a. Dealing with defamation via civil suit is perfectly consistent with a free speech absolutist position, which is my original point.

This is an incredibly tedious exchange, it seems like you're going to pains to find the least charitable interpretation of what I'm saying.
