I don't have much faith that there are people who value true "free speech" these days. I think the term "free speech" is just a rallying cry to allow what I want to say and prevent others from saying things that contradict my views.

Elon "free speech" Musk recently announced that "cis" is a slur on Twitter but that "deadnaming" trans people isn't, but this is very much an opinion derived from a specific world view and now he is imposing that across the board. Okay, sure, that is his right, he owns the place. But please drop the "free speech" talk when really you just want to elevate your preferred viewpoint over alternatives.
