Well in the United States (at least during a previous generation when the constitution actually mattered), the constitution only protects you from government entities inhibiting, prohibiting, or punishing speech or the free exercise thereof.

Nothing in the constitution precludes one from consequences from private entities. In fact, the founders warned, that the constitution was for a moral and religious people, wholly unsuited for any other. Individuals should be held accountable from their peers.

Of course, the rights of the government far outweigh individual rights now, but that's a symptom of a people that no longer identify with the declaration of independence, and at this point the constitution should be scrapped, instead of dismantling it one piece at a time as we've done for the past 60 years. The govt cherry picks it's groups that free speech is enforced for, like the ability to force someone to bake a cake for something they don't agree with

Maybe another country has something different, but the original author's premise is wrong in the context of the US, and again, displays woefully inept and ignorant knowledge of the US Constitution. He owns credence to the idea that most people living in the USA are made to be ruled, and another reason for a Chinese style system
