Actually, Free Speech says that the government cannot prevent you from
speaking. It has nothing to do with private enterprise or personal
communications.

It means that the law cannot be used to stop you from voicing your
opinions.

It's a common misconception that Free Speech means that in America the law
says that you must be allowed to say anything in any place.

Hopefully someone has posted this to the FAC board. They are a group that
actively fights First Amendment Abridgements pro bono. I can't find the
link or I would post it myself. Obviously Verant has never heard of Larry
Flynt or they probably would have taken a different course in this case.
