KJ5IRQ, this is KC2PKG. You know, I find the biggest misunderstanding about free speech is people don't seem to grasp the fact that our free speech laws mean the government cannot muzzle you. They cannot go after you for things that you say. It doesn't mean you can say anything you want on ham radio or Facebook or X. Any of those things, those are private companies. They have control over what gets said there. So when you hear somebody crying about what about free speech on those services, you know, this is somebody who doesn't understand that free speech is about the government. Retribution is something you say. There's other things that they is not protecting even against the government. Incitement to imminent lawless action. In other words, if you start a riot by yelling, they can go after you. Obscenity, and it's pretty narrowly defined, but speaking obscenely, the government can go after you. Defamation, lying about somebody. That's not protected speech. They call it true threats, and that expresses a serious attempt to commit an act of unlawful violence against a particular individual or group. That's not protected. And fighting words, insults are words that are personally abusive and likely to provoke a violent reaction from the person whom they are addressed can be restricted. So free speech, you know, a dance like yelling fire in the theater, the government can come after you for that. So yes, we have a wide latitude in the United States about what to say, but not everything is protected. Anyway, back to you. KJ5IRQ, this is KC2PKG.
