Freedom of speech is only granted from the government. You have no [first] amendment rights from your employer.If your employer says 'don't discuss work outside the company' they rule. There are a few exceptions to the case (such as whistleblowing when the employer is in violation of the law) but in most cases the employer can set any reasonable policy they like - and they can say 'don't represent us on the Internet'.
Unless you are in the PR department and have an approved press release, or you have specific authorization don't speak for the company.
