Free speech is literally a reference to the first amendment. There is no "right" to free speech outside of the first amendment.
Wow, that Oracle really was hot shit then, she must have seen the future and shared the 1st amendment with the people of Athens in the 6th century BC.
🤣Blake be like "Who is the freest speecher of all?"And Blake's Oracle be like, "Whole Foods is the freest peach of all."
Just so you know... it's not really that big of a leap to bring up the US first amendment when talking about a US company reacting to a US law with US action. Maybe you don't need to jump to ancient Athens?
I know it’s not a big leap, honestly it’s perfectly reasonable to assume. If the guy had just said “oh yeah, I had assumed he was talking about the first amendment because this is a US legal case” I’d have been like “yeah, fair enough” but he kept being a pedantic ass about it and trying to make out that I was somehow fucking stupid for thinking that the guy was talking about the broad concept of freedom of expression rather than the 1st amendment, lol
