ie, freedom from goverment action.

But nobody can limit the usage of "freedom of speech" in
that scope. Especially in our previous posts, we were
using Chinese words 言论自由。

Even for the English words, the definition is debatable.
Look at this paragraph:

"The philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville observed that people may be hesitant to speak freely not because of fear of government retribution but because of social pressures. When an individual announces an unpopular opinion, he or she may face the disdain of their community or even be subjected to violent reactions. While this type of suppression of speech is even more difficult to prevent than government suppression, there are questions about whether it truly falls within the ambit of freedom of speech, which is typically regarded as a civil liberty, or freedom from government action."

Note it only says "there are questions about whether it
truely falls within the ambit of freedom of speech", it
doesn't say it surely doesn't fall within it.

Even if your definition of "freedom of speech is right
and thus you didn't violate "freedom of speech", don't
you think what you did is to the same effect as
violating "freedom of speech"? The only difference
is one is government action, the other is individual
action.
Then why a government can not suppress other's freedom
of expression but you can?
A rose is a rose by any other name.

That's exactly why I say most people promoting "freedom
of speech" is actually promoting "freedom of speech
as long as I like".
