SHHH! People use "freedom of speech" to mean: "I can say the most vile thing on the planet, and you, a private person, cannot hold it against me, cause FREE SPEECH!"
People are pretty ignorant on what the first amendment is actually about.
If LJ posts were removed for being critical of, say, Putin or Obama, now that *could* be a free speech issue, depending on who was removing said posts.
