Freedom of speech specifically applies to offensive speech. You don't need any legal protections to talk about flowers and butterflies

- alexeldeib 6y agoBringing it back to the context of the original reply: it applies to protection from the government, not protection from private individuals when you make speech which offends those individuals. That's why I linked the book case. Hawley cites the first amendment, but he's in a contract with a private entity to publish the book. Barring contract disputes, there is no first amendment case that the publisher must distribute his book.
