I feel like this whole statement is up for debate, but who knows.  Personally, I find the whole façade of "free speech" to be handy in giving people an excuse to out themselves for who they really are and then we can all watch as they grapple with the consequences of their ignorance of their own rights.

Think of how many of the capitol insurrection/rioters/peaceful-people-who-did-nothing-wrong would have skated if they hadn't been given a "free" platform to post upon in Parler (I think it was Parler) that instantly sold them out to the FBI.  Stuff gets interesting when you give people enough rope, I guess.
