I havent heard of the right to be heard, but most people know of free speech. So where are you getting the idea of the right to be heard ? Is it a legal idea, your personal idea, a philosophical idea ?

Are you trying to derail, or are you seriously not understanding that there is no right to be heard, it's a thing GP made up on the spot to illustrate what free speech is not?

Look Im not lawyer. But I do know free speech is something extraordinary legalistic in america so Im asking for clarification.

A google search showed tons of different opinions and views on what I originally thought was a simple view.

So no its not as simple as people are claiming or saying
