Once upon a time we could speak about anything, We had free speech!! Have you forgotten? What happened to our free speech?
The Bill of Rights, an amendment to our constitution: #1
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Freedom of speech is the right of a person to articulate opinions and ideas without interference or retaliation from the government.
The First Amendment restrains only the government. The Supreme Court has interpreted “speech” and “press” broadly as covering not only talking, writing, and printing, but also broadcasting, using the Internet, and other forms of expression. There are 4 limits to free speech: obscenity, child pornography, defamation, incitement to violence and true threats of violence. Even in those categories, there are tests that have to be met in order for the speech to be illegal.
We are beginning to allow ourselves to become like the Chinese. I am sure you became aware of the FBI censoringTwitter. There is a whole industry in this country devoted to censoring.
