Ah. Just as no form of arms, including nuclear weapons and self-propelled artillery fall outside the right to "arms", as per the 2nd amendment.No form of speech falls outside of "freedom of speech".No.... because those things fall -outside- the freedom of speech.
Thus, restricting them does NOT restrict the freedom of speech.
Libel and slander are not part of the freedom of speech - your right to the freedom of speech does not include themas they harm others, and thus, prohibiting them does not reduce the freedom of speech in any way. All speech that is actually part of the freedom of speech -is- free.
No form of speech falls outside of "freedom of speech".
Anything that falls outside of "protected free speech" (the term you are actually searching for) is speech that is not free.
The mere fact that there is a distinction between speech that is protected and speech that isn't illustrates that not all speech is free. Nor is all life and liberty free.
In fact ALL of your rights are either limited or non existent. You have no unlimited rights whatsoever.
