No, i don't really understand it either
Frankly I've never understood the free speech stuff.
There is not a lack of free speech in this country, people can pretty much say whatever the hell they like. You're not going to be killed, or targeted by the state, or imprisoned for anything you say. That's free speech.
What is not promised and what is not a right is judgment and consequence free speech. Which is typically what these sorts of people you and I are talking are actually asking for. The ability to say whatever nonsense they like without there being consequences or criticism for it
Toby Rudolph has free speech, he can tell the inappropriate joke. However there are consequences, in this case an extremely mild one in a reminder of his contractual obligation to not make public remarks which go against the ethos of the organisation that employees him. Which fits the crime of making mildly inappropriate comments/telling a mildly inappropriate joke.
There really isn't a lot going on here. I was staggered this morning to find this discussion spanning 2-3 pages of a thread
you have no idea what FREE SPEECH is if you spew that garbage.
Gee you are a very limited human being. You can't even understand what you are talking about isn't free speech.
