Freedom of speech: not just the law - it's a good idea too!

  It's also only related to Government infringement. Not private companies.

    I used to think that too. The problem with that formulation is that corporations control much of what was previously either unregulated or the province of government in the sense of legal restrictions against government power. The public square is the internet these days. Freedom of speech is important enough that speaking in the public square should be protected, even when the square is seemingly owned and operated by a corporation... and probably especially then.

    My point was that it isn't just the law, it's a good thing generally to encourage, even if there are no legal requirements to do so.
