I think people don't really understand the difference between Free Speech and Censorship.
Online services such as Twitter and Facebook have Terms of Service contracts you must agree to in order to use them. So there's really no "Freedom of Speech" on such platforms.
There is a huge number of people who believe that Free Speech means that they can say/write anything they want anywhere they want, and that's simply not true.

Our founding fathers didn't risk their own lives and the lives of their families so that assholes everywhere can be total assholes.
They did indeed risk everything so we can do what we want as long as it doesn't impede others.
I agree. I can just imagine what they would think if they could see what people today were doing and claiming it as "Freedom of Speech".
