> I don't advocate that speech shouldn't have consequences.
By that definition the entire world is an absolute free speech paradise already.
You can say anything you want. Sure you might be canceled, jailed, fined, killed, tortured, or anything else -- depending on what you say, who you say it to and where you say it. But you're absolutely free to say it!
In traditional sense, the free speech is implied to be about your relationship with your government. If you get jailed, fined, killed etc... by your government you obviously don't have free speech.
On the internet platforms, admins can't do any of that but they can effectively silence you(IRL silencing you is very hard).
