Inciting riots or violence or criminal activities aren't covered under free speech.
Way too many people don't understand what free speech actually is. It doesn't mean that you can say whatever you want, whenever you want, whereever you want (which seems to be the definition believed by so many).
It doesn't mean companies, such as social media sites, are obligated to provide you with a platform to say whatever you'd like.
Freedom of speech is the right to express your opinions and ideas without government punishment or censorship, as long as it doesn’t break the law (like threats or inciting violence).
And it's not only liberals who either don't understand what Freedom of Speech is or have double standards. I've had plenty of arguments with anons right here over the years about this.
For instance, freedom of speech isn't having the right to claim whatever you like and others aren't able to say you're wrong about it. That's one I'm noticing that's popular right now. Having a "fact checker" status slapped on something someone said isn't violating their freedom of speech.
