Freedom of speech is freedom of speech until you yell fire in a crowded theater. Pandemic related quarantines have been established as being constitutional in past rulings.
- tathougies 7y agoActually, it is completely legal to yell fire in a crowded theater. What you are not allowed to I am not sure why people continue to use this tired excuse. What is illegal is wanting to harm people by yelling fire in a crowded theater that is not actually on fire, although it is also illegal to knowingly hide that the theater is on fire. Nevertheless the reference itself comes from a really terrible case where the supreme court wrongly infringed on the rights of a war dissenter. It is not a concept that ought to be continued to be parroted.
