why does nobody know what the concept of free speech actually is? it literally means congress will make no law restricting your right to assemble or speak as long as it doesn’t infringe on anyone else’s rights to do the same
It’s because the people who pick and choose what the constitution is to them are the same people who pick and choose parts of The Bible. They believe they’re always right and they don’t want anyone to ever tell them they’re wrong.
The first amendment of the US is not the definition of free speech. People in other parts of the world also have the right to free speech, and it has nothing to do with the US constitution. I know it sounds crazy to you, but there’s countries other than the US.
They’re arguing that the press is important to maintaining and exercising free speech. If they go out of business because they don’t make ad money, bad for free speech. Not saying they are right, but I think everyone here is missing what they are really saying.
You’re confusing the “concept of free speech” with America’s Constitutional protection of free speech (the First Amendment).
This is some peak America-brain to suggest that free speech only exists in the USA. I assure you, outside of America’s borders, nobody is referencing the First Amendment when they talk about free speech, and the concept as you so condescendingly claim to be the expert on is not limited to government restriction.

Well no. Freedom to assemble is entirely different from free speech. Both are protected by the First Amendment.
The first amendment to the Constitution of the United States protects:
When Justice Amy Coney Barrett was being reviewed for her bench position, she couldn’t remember the last one.
But Pepperidge Farm remembers.

However, we are on a thread regarding ‘USA Today’… so it would track that they’d bring up the Constitution
Nor was I saying it did.

Because they said it poorly. Why would I trust their reporting if they can’t communicate a simple message like that?
No one said you need to trust their reporting.

Why do Americans think that American laws are the same thing as universal concepts?
