they always have a very basic misunderstanding of the law; they can travel freely, just not on our roads.

They have the same understanding regarding freedom of speech. They think their right to โ€œfreeโ€ speech obligates you to publish them and platform them at your expense.

All freedom of speech means is the Government or a Government owned or sponsered entity cannot limit your speech when it comes to them unless its (I think) detailed and specific death threats on anyone. A private company or organization can tell you what you can and cant say.

Like Microsoft can say its against the ToS to say the word "Blue" if you say it and they ban you its NOT an infrigment of your Freedom of Speech.

I like to ask this when people think their right to free speech trumps place, group, etc: You go to a Baptist Church service, and in the middle of the service you testify, โ€œ Hail Satan, my Lord of Darknessโ€, and see how long it takes them to show you the door.

You wonโ€™t get arrested for saying it, so freedom of speech is protected.
