But not arrested.

Freedom of association is a thing.

Can you elaborate? I want to take you seriously but I don't get your point.

There are very few situations where speech leads to incarceration, and I don't think PG is talking about those, is he?

My point is that "cannot say" is pure hyperbole. Your freedom to say whatever you want is not impinged, and my equivalent freedom to shun you based on what you say is similarly unimpinged.

Usually when people complain about what you "can't say", what they actually mean is they can't say whatever they like and still have people still employ / socialise / be nice to them.

Expressing opinions that others find disagreeable is not a protected class.
