Even stereotypically free USA restricts it quite heavily if Wikipedia is to be believed. "Free speech" is nothing but empty phrase weaponized by right wing that want to have right to spread bigotry and yet cries when is faced with any criticism. It's regulated speech all the way, except perhaps in fallen states.
I'm all for regulated speech as letting fascist to get away with spreading hatred results in shit we see all over the world. I don't really give a shit if it is idea that some will not like - fascist trash, alt right scum or maoist cunts (along with plain racists or other similar scum) should be censored, fined and in final step jailed. Free speech may sound nice in theory (like communism) but in reality it results (or help to get them in power) in orbans, trumps or kaczynskies.
It results in bad things, it also results in good things. That it results in bad things is not by itself an argument against it.
Argument is that there is nothing to defend. There is no such thing as "free speech" and since all speech is regulated pointing to "freedom" as only argument against further regulation is asinine.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
