That's always been the case. There have always been reasonable restrictions on "liberties." Yelling fire in a crowded theater is the classic example justifying limitations on "free speech."

Another might be standing right outside (or in the middle of) The Yellow Jersey bike shop and shouting liberal propaganda at the top of one's lungs for hours. I believe you'd try to apply restrictions.

I much prefer argument (rhetoric, not histrionics). That's not always possible, as with an agitated woman with a diaper wrapped around her head screaming at me in a foreign language in our showroom. Meh. That incident said more about her than me.

I think it's obvious that at some level of disruption, you'd want her "right to free speech" restricted. Say if she and her cohorts showed up at opening time and stayed till closing time, speaking freely in such loud voices that customers were repelled and carrying on business was difficult.

And if someone on an airplane began shouting their "free speech" continuously, do you think the passengers and staff should put up with it for the entire flight? Really?

Of course. But if allowed to continue, it makes all the paying customers miserable. That much permissiveness would be financially detrimental to the airline.
