Until two police officers come and frogmarch you to the back of a car when you are saying something the government doesn't like there is free speech.

Most people are just annoyed their social media addiction is being interrupted when they moan about account bans, or app bans in this case.

Hell, even some of the "restrictions" on free speech that are legitimately on the books in the US aren't actually enforced.

Get a ham radio license and use profanity when you transmit. Seriously. Do it. Odds are, the FCC does nothing. The thing they do when they do catch you is send you a letter saying "please don't do that".
