We don't "want free speech," it exists and a government that represents free people will recognize that.

The founders arrived at a consensus with representative democracy. They realized the dangers of democracy.

It's just a made up concept though. It would be physically impossible for YouTube to ban anything if it was a real thing.

That there's a conversation about YouTube censoring people says that it is perfectly possible for free speech to not exist. It's not a physical law of the universe
