No, I'm not going to retire my trite remark. You can't stage a protest in a shopping mall, no matter how much it looks like a public space. There's no expectation you would have freedom of speech there. The liberty of property would seem to be the most powerful of all. If your life looks more like a shopping mall than a public square, I don't know what other expectations any modern person or Athenian alike may have.
