How freedom of speech has changed in ten years:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Freedom_of_speech&type=revision&diff=764472577&oldid=113861969 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Freedom_of_speech...
From:
"'Freedom of speech' is the concept of being able to speak freely without censorship. It is often regarded as an integral concept in modern liberal democracy."
To:
"'Freedom of speech' is the right to articulate one's opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship, or societal sanction."
Note how retaliation and censorship might no longer be considered an attack on free speech, if done by private individuals or non-government entities. Also, free speech is apparently no longer "an integral concept in modern liberal democracy".
