    They are allowed to chill their own speech. The government does not have the right to restrict speech, at least in the US.

      Regardless, there is a contrast between how I have interpreted the article and how I feel about the page as a whole.

      The Supreme Court of the United States has recognized several categories of speech that are given lesser or no protection by the First Amendment and has recognized that governments may enact reasonable time, place, or manner restrictions on speech.
