This free speech doesn't extend to influence of foreign actors whose interests run opposite to those of the land of free speech. The free speech guarantee is for their own citizens.

"I only believe in flat earthers from the US of A. Wouldn't want to be manipulated by any foreign governments".

There are so many useful idiots, they were never going to manipulate you directly, there's too many people.

I can't even tell how much of this comment section is astroturfed / bot driven anymore.
