Original Note:
Mr. Greenblats assertion that “you’re not restricting free speech when you keep someone from yelling “fire” in a crowded theatre” is factually incorrect. It’s been held as recently as 2022 in the fifth circuit court of appeals that the “fire” analogy is protected speech. https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2023/8/30/23852276/covid-joke-shouting-fire-crowded-theater-analogy-jacob-sullum
