Can free speech exist unchained?

Asked by josie (30934points) January 18th, 2011

This oddly Orwellian question is asked by Simon Jenkins, a writer for the UK’s famously leftist paper, The Guardian. (Guardian of what?)

Anyway, is Simon correct? Does free speech need to be placed in chains in order to remain free?
