But who ever said anything about an advantage? The argument about free speech is that censorship is bad, so there should be some minimal level of speech that anyone can produce without worry. This comes down to "the government can't regulate me". Some people broaden this to a moral imperative of "we shouldn't needlessly censor", which is a fine moral imperative.

However, moral imperatives are not things we should legislate as they aren't universal, and "the government cannot regulate me" is a far cry from what some are calling for now, which is " the government must regulate you".
