"innocent until proven guilty" and "freedom of speech" are principles codified in law.
The position that only the government is bound by "freedom of speech" is, at the very least, weird in an international context where things that are not the US government are expected to respect people's freedoms.
It is also perfectly legal to do a lot bad things like e.g. buying the product of slave labor in other countries or blood diamonds or buying stocks of companies known to pollute with wild disregard.
Also in the US:
> "innocent until proven guilty" only applies in a court of law.
is misleading, the more precise version is that "innocent until proven guilty" only applies in criminal courts.
