I think you're confusing Jobs' insistence on controlling the hardware / software combination (so that Apple's hardware wouldn't be ruined, user-experience-wise, by crappy software) with free speech in the sense of free discussion of ideas. The first was a design decision for products he sold and helped create -- Steve's design sense is largely what MADE the post-Apple 1 Apple successful -- while the second is censorship of non-Cabal-approved ideas as Apple is involved with today.
If Steve was (contrary to not only that famous Big Brother Superbowl ad but to much of Apple's advertising during Steve's tenure) into censorship of ideas, I'm unaware of it.

No, I'm not confused at all.
Steve Jobs banned a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist's app because he made fun of Obama, just as an example.

Thank you for the sauce, The PowerofPrayer. My fondness for Jobs has clearly blurred my memory and needs re-adjusting.
