I'm not sure if you are trolling or not, but that is very obviously a free speech issue.


Disagreeing. Nothing "very obvious" about it.


If you can compel speech, then you can effectively censor people by forcing them to disavow their messages, and then burying their signal in compelled noise.

Or to put it another way, compelling speech is denying the right to send the null message.


Yes, that is not a useful way of looking at the issue.

Noone cares about the "null message".
