In case anyone wasn't aware, free speech was never a thing in the United States. From the 1798 Alien&Sedition acts to Schenck v United States to the '57 and '64 civil rights acts, the government is *always* trying to suppress speech. When one branch gets told no by another branch, they find other ways, like the patcon operations, cointelpro, etc.
The story of America is about the government declaring you have rights, but then doing everything in its power to take those rights away....while pretending you have them.
