But that means in practice you DON'T have freedom of speech. Saying you have a certain freedom is USELESS w/o guaranteeing a certain degree of protection against the powers-that-be that might not like the way you employed said freedom, be it a government or a corporation.

And separating between government and corporation is dangerous b/c both are powers that be and their interests are often quite allied. Imagine government (being restricted from taking direct action) quietly promising benefits to corporations if only they cashiered (using their rights) any employee caught putting out anti-government messages. Good bye, freedom of speech.
