I think the freedom of speech has to do with or towards our government. You can get fired for what you say at work, such as against another employee and now using swear words. I had a two friends that worked together and they said something about another employee in an email at work (the email was sent between themselves) but it was found and they were fired. I cursed at work and the next day was talked to by my supervisor. It seems I said the wrong thing in front of some guy and he was offended. I worked in a factory, everyone cursed - but it was a lesson learned and I was glad they talked to me instead of firing me.
