I think we should make it hard, if not impossible for the government to inhibit free speech through disclosure. That is what this ruling will accomplish.

That ruling only applies to people that can defend it in court.
If a government agency came demanding information, even if it was protected speech, what alis someone like me supposed to do? Tell them them they are violating my rights and cite this case? That literally is meaningless.
My choices are give up the information or go to court. Since I cannot afford to go to court then my only choice is to give up the information or go to jail. Lose my job? Lose my house?

We are living in an era where rights are only for those with the time and money to fight for them in court.
