   Freedom of speech, under the US First Amendment, does not cover the words used to carry out a crime. It does not cover setting up criminal conspiracies, perjury, fraud, or intimidation of witnesses: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/aug/14/trump-has-no-serious-first-amendment-defense-in-a-court-of-law-heres-why Therefore, freedom of speech is not a defense for the crimes that the corrupter/insurrectionist is charged with, or the ones he might commit now.

     Freedom is overrated anyway. I don't know why you ever bothered with it. Just let the authorities and biggest companies tell you what to think and do.

     I am going to replace Emacs with Visual Studio Code or something.

     Then why does California try to interfere with the prosecution presenting rap lyrics as evidence against black criminals?
