That's bullshit, despite what certain pro-censorship political tendencies try to claim freedom of speech goes far beyond the confines of the first amendment.

This image really bothers me because the right to freedom of speech protects you from the government, not other citizens; it's completely within their own right to freedom of speech and expression to tell you to shut up just as much as it is in your freedom of speech to say whatever it was that made them angry.
