freedom of speech is not an exclusively legal term

[โ€“] ram@bookwormstory.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Both the article in the OP, and the comment you're responding to are using it in the legal sense.

unless i am failing to understand what is being said the article is saying otherwise.

For them, free speech is freedom for them to collect a paycheque while saying the most boring, obvious, clichรฉ, bootlicking shit they can come up with. That is free speech โ€” the right to do these things with minimal government involvement.
