In the context of the West, it's just a talking point to me to culturally ingrain onto us the normalization of reactionary and, at best liberal, speech, a lot of which is filtered in through media on the basis of Capital, while materially cracking down on revolutionary voices. Red Sails made an essay about it.

Hugo Black, the Supreme Court justice most closely identified with First Amendment Absolutism, by his own account, “never believed that any person has a right to give speeches or engage in demonstrations where he pleases and when he pleases.” [14] He also distinguished speech from “conduct.” [15] Hence, he supported prohibitions on flag-burning, the wearing of anti-war armbands in high school, protesting on government property and “Fuck the Draft” t-shirts.
