You’re probably since those that preach about free speech are politically driven, hence biased to protect their stance. Rest of us have realized speech isn’t free of consequence and the last third just doesn’t give a fuck.
Defamation, fraud, hate speech, harassment, collusion, confidentiality, incitement…

Or when an authoritarian government asks him to block literally anything
