Am I the only one who feels like we have really stretched the definition of "speech"? I don't even think written word counts as speech in the literal sense, which is why the first amendment specifically mentions freedom of the press as well. If "speech" meant "literally anything produced by a human" then they would not have added the bit about press freedom. I feel a similar way about the contractor vs employee debate around Uber. Uber drivers are so clearly neither, but we get so focused on fitting new problems into the existing legal framework instead of growing the legal framework. It feels like we need to do some refactoring.
