Someone stranded on a desert island, thousands of miles from all civilization, can say anything they want without repercussions. Their right to free expression is innate, part of being human.

Having the ability to do something under restricted circumstances doesn't make it a natural right. If something is truly a natural right, then they should be able to exercise that right under any circumstances, in any situation.

There are two requirements for something to be a natural right:

- It must be something any human can exercise in the absence of outside interference by other humans;

- Any such interference must be presumptively immoral.

Freedom of expression meets both the empirical and moral requirements for being a natural right.
