Asking for freedom of speech is naively utopian, though.

Stone can speak as freely as he likes.

He and his lawyers came begging for him not to be incarcerated for his alleged crimes and in exchange agreed to certain conditions.

That's why his lawyers made him put out that groveling apology when he posted that Instagram.

If he wants to renounce that agreement no one will care, but he'll be able to say whatever he wants from behind bars.

Totally up to him.

Yes, I guess I exaggerate here when I proclaim I have no freedom of speech.
I think I should pipe down.

Also the on the job or under court rules or various other limited arenas are not really “no freedom of speech”—just limits. Someone repeated the line recently: You can have freedom of speech if you don’t mind losing your job.

The non-hero Abbie Hoffman said he didn’t want the freedom to yell “fire” in a crowded theater. He wanted the freedom to yell “theatre” in a crowded fire.
