In general it does mean freedom from legal consequences and government interference, with few exceptions.
- FooBarWidget 6y agoIs that really good enough? Why is freedom from government interference all you care about?
- jolux 6y agoIt's not all that I care about, but the government has a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. I have recourse to that force if another private entity harms me. Who do I have recourse to if the government harms me? I consider freedom of speech a baseline, and I think it's one of the only things the US Constitution got right.
