I'm not really sure what you mean by free speech here.
Do you mean that, if I say "this war is bad!" I may be "arrested" and "tried" and then put in a jail for 15 years (or just vanish, or be dropped from a helicopter over the ocean).
Or do you mean if I tweet "I'll <wink wink> 2nd amendment those Hajis!" my tweet won't be seen by 12 million people rather than "promoted" by some algorithm?
Freedom of speech, as denoted in the United States Constitution, is a set of limits around the government behaviors. U.S. Government behaviors.
