Actually, I'm afraid if you mean "freedom of speech does not extend to speech that might induce people to do evil" I must emphatically disagree.

It is precisely unpopular speech, including speech that some people see as possibly persuading others to do evil, that requires protection. Popular speech, on the other hand, doesn't need any protection because no one will try to ban it in the first place.
