There's no protection for free speech in the US only that the government can't make laws restricting it

Freedom of Expression is a core value in the US:

> Freedom of speech, of the press, of association, of assembly and petition -- this set of guarantees, protected by the First Amendment, comprises what we refer to as freedom of expression. The Supreme Court has written that this freedom is "the matrix, the indispensable condition of nearly every other form of freedom." Without it, other fundamental rights, like the right to vote, would wither and die.

As expression increasingly moves online, we will have to find ways to protect it online. A future in which the vast majority of speech happens in private online platforms, that may curtail it at will, is not just dystopian but goes against core American values, and the essence of freedom.

This is not in the constitution, you just pasted the opinions of others.

Core american values? There's massive censorship of pornography, there are noise laws, library books are being challanged and removed. A town voted to defund a library because they wouldn't remove a book. Explain to me how it's a core value?
