Certainly free speech is limited in certain cases, notably libel and slander, which MUST be against individuals (corporations and the government cannot be libeled or slandered). Also the classic case of shouting "Theater!" in a crowded fire.

But otherwise free speech means exactly that, and even in the cases of libel and slander, the speech cannot be prohibited in advance, only judged afterwards. It's not limited to individuals speaking about government.
