Tighthead would be arguing that given there are no legal ramifications (yet), it isn't a Freedom of Speech issue.

*I* don't have an alternate definition, but I do have time for those who argue that corporate power and influence have expanded to the point where Charter rights are starting to lose relevance.
I don't personally agree that this is a "Freedom of Speech" issue, but I'm also not willing to just blindly and pedantically throw around dictionary definitions as though they were handed down by a god.
