> in America when when people say "Free Speech" they mean the 1st Amendment Isn't it quite presumtive of you to assume that everyone means the same thing by "Free Speech". That seems highly unlikely to me. > When two people are communicating using common words the definition of those words need to be common otherwise communication does not happen. Otherwise you are just using jargon. Yes, but that doesn't mean that words or phrases have a single globally umambiguous meaning. Typically maintaining productive communication means avoiding using contested/controversial terms like "free speech" in an unqualified way entirely and creating and exaplaining new terms to disambiguate exactly which version of the concept you mean. |
