Fair enough. The confusion seems to be so common I wonder where it comes from originally. Evidently it's not coming from dictionaries... maybe schools are creating this misconception by primarily discussing government censorship.

Its not confusion, its a specific talking point used to advocate pro-censorship ideology. Arguing against the 1st amendment would be arguing against american values - this conveniently side steps that association.

I'm guessing it's because of the First Amendment.

I doubt Randall Munroe of XKCD created it, but he certainly popularized it on internet with his free speech comic.
The confusion seems common to America, where the constitution is seen as the source of the rights, rather than as a document referencing pre existing ideals.
