How can freedom of speech and censorship be in the same law book?

0

Freedom of Speech is not an absolute. The Supreme Court along time ago decided obcenity is not protected speech. Now censorship is something that only the government can do. Take the theaters that refused to carry that Brokeback Mountain. That was a freemarkedt decision, where it would have affected the profits of the theater owners if he had run the film. His property, his decision. Now if the government stepped in then it should be banned that’s censorship Like I said free speech isn’t an absolute, you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater, or anything that would put someone at risk.
