Free Speech is under attack?

I go through X posts to see what people are saying now about losing jobs over vile Charlie Kirk comments. What people fail to realize is that the First Amendment protects you from the government prosecuting you, not private companies, organizations, and people from taking action against you. We are not in the cancel culture era, we are in the consequence culture era.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"
