Before I start writing about the headline news event from this past weekend where the founder of the Telegram platform was arrested in France, I think it is helpful to first define a term that is being used with almost all of the coverage of this event in the media, which is the term “free speech”.

The term “free speech” is used today, particularly in the mostly “right-wing” alternative media, as if its definition is universally understood.

However, the term “free speech” is anything but understood the same way by everyone who uses it.
