But in reality, it's pretty damn hard to regulate speech, isn't it? Unless someone has their hand over your mouth, you can say just about anything you want. You can shout company secrets from the top of the building all you want, you're just going to find yourself in a heap of trouble at the end of the day.
When people are talking about freedom of speech, most often they are talking about freedom from consequences.
