    Don’t be dense, read the article. The story is not about legality or free speech absolutism. It is about how the window of acceptable political speech in what is considered mainstream has narrowed to a stifling degree.

      the story is not about legality

      Then it shouldn’t use the words “free speech” in the headline. Free speech is very much a legal term.

        So is theft and murder and inheritance. We use legal terms in regular parlance all the time.

          Ok, and? Regular parlance can be about legal implications too, I’ve never heard the words “free speech” used in a context with no connection to their legal meaning. Do you have a counter example?

            Yes. The very article in this post.
