Our free speech rights as Americans are legally secure. Government may not legally censor our speech or punish us for our speech. Illegal restrictions are quickly shut down and provoke a public outcry. So why do Americans feel less free to speak, especially over the last fifteen years? Because our culture is increasingly intolerant of opposing opinions and ready to engage in private-sector censorship at any moment. To maintain a healthy society, we need to develop a culture of free speech.
