          Even in the context of the US First Amendment, which makes it so that the government cannot abridge your right to free speech, it’s not unlimited. Think “Yelling ‘fire’ in a crowded theater, when there’s no fire,” or libel/slander, or terroristic threats, or, I dunno, witness tampering.

          There’s lots of speech which must yield to other rights and protections.
