From the Government.

- IncRnd 10y agoThe discussion is about words, and no you shouldn't be protected from the words and speech coming from business interests.
- quirkafleeg 10y agoThat's not even remotely what he was saying people should be protected from WRT business.
- IncRnd 10y agoWords were exactly the subject of his parent comment.
- mmjaa 10y agoOne mans business is another mans government. Yes, we should be protected from business interests when they usurp our basic rights to free speech. We should be protected - by our governments - whenever our rights are misused/abused. What else is government for if its not to protect our basic rights?
