Free speech is a constitutional right that protects everyone equally, especially when discussing matters of public concern related to health and safety. The law provides strong protections for those who speak about dangerous situations, even when powerful people with resources try to silence them through intimidation tactics.
• First Amendment free speech protections apply to everyone regardless of popularity or influence
• "Matter of public concern" provides additional legal protection when discussing safety issues
• Public health and safety discussions are specifically protected forms of speech
• Powerful people sometimes use defamation claims to silence smaller voices
• Individuals with disabilities have both constitutional and additional legal protections
• David vs. Goliath dynamics often play out when the wealthy try to silence those with fewer resources
• True defamation claims require actual damages, not just disagreement with what was said
• Speaking truth about dangerous situations serves the public interest
