    the story is not about legality

    Then it shouldn’t use the words “free speech” in the headline. Free speech is very much a legal term.

      So is theft and murder and inheritance. We use legal terms in regular parlance all the time.

        Ok, and? Regular parlance can be about legal implications too, I’ve never heard the words “free speech” used in a context with no connection to their legal meaning. Do you have a counter example?

          Yes. The very article in this post.
