    Only if you definite it to be limited to there. Free speech or the lack thereof is a condition of existence for a group of people.

    Free speech is just that the government shouldn’t be able to punish you for what you say. Nothing else.

    What you describe is governed by the social contract. Noone should be forced to listen to what other people say, and people can freely decide to distance themselves if someone says something they don’t agree with.

      Also there can be social consequences from what you say, free speech does not protect you from that, despite some people thinking that it does or that it should.
