The ability to speak in public without any detrimental effect from the government. Same with writing. Since writing is just speech written down.

@phillyguy And do you think websites like Similar Worlds should be allowed to require you to sign off on rules of conduct before being allowed to "speak" here?

@LordShadowfire Yes, because SW is a private company. They’re entitled to make rules on what speech is allowed, just as you can make rules on what speech is allowed in your home.

@LeopoldBloom Oh, I absolutely agree. I was just wondering if @phillyguy had the same opinion. @Andrew has every right to say what kind of speech is and isn't allowed here.
