Best Answer

No, we have limited freedom of speech. This was discussed by the Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes who likened the limits on free speech to the yelling of "Fire" in a crowded theater when there was no fire. A citizen must responsibly limit his use of free speech to avoid endangering the innocent. Answer #2 In the PC world of today, there may be limitations on "hate speech" and there are laws against "inciting riots", etc. You also have to be careful of liable or slander.

We do not allow fraud, slander, false advertising, or copyright violation, even though all of those are forms of speech.
