Yeah, freedom of speech is a joke.


The concept of freedom of speech does not imply a free platform to spread your speech.


I think the movie The Insider expressed it well: "The press is free, for anyone that owns one."

Apparently that comes from an older expression dating back at least to a 1960 quote in The New Yorker: "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one."
