Some totally born during the Roman Empire, or the renaissance, or even during the time of Adolf Hitler might not understand the concept of "free speech" it's however glorious that throughout the years, humans have undergone a massive revolution and things like human rights are now being respected and freedom of the Press and people now seem essential to maintain a sort of equilibrium or a sort of check and balance between the people at the helm and the people who put them there. That is, freedom lies with people but irrespective of this, free speech has been somewhat of a Mirage on the web and why does this need to be addressed?
What does Free Speech mean to you?
Free speech is a right to express without fear of consequences
Free Speech is the right to express opinion, believe and point of view without the fear of censorship or ostracization
Now these are totally my definition as regarding my experiences and how it's totally come to affect me so far, now personally, what is free speech in relativity to me as a user of the web? Free speech is the right to be vocalised of any ills or injustice or speaking against unfavorable conditions without the fear of being stripped of your rewards which has taken a lifelong to actually build.

Now, the web is being monetised and when money is in question people have to follow rules upon rules, these restrictions is a direct target on free speech. One of the reason why the web is being heavily restricted is because of the fact that people might become radical and expose things that might be deemed too offensive or too raw to be seen in the open, this is of course popular in many places on the web.
free speech to me means taking away the centralised idea to shut people down, strip their reward and visibility. Free speech should be a possibility where such features on the web will no longer exist
Do you believe Free Speech is worth saving? If yes, why do you believe it is important?
Of course free speech is worth saving. The internet is a global federation that expands towards all human society and this federation is a second republic where people either make a living or interaction at the widest level or margin. Free speech of course would have become the greatest tool on the web, the web doesn't have to be sovereign or somewhat judgemental it just needs to be More accommodative of of people's opinion and expression.
The reason or the most important reason why free speech is worth saving is because free speech eventually helps to uncover secrets of uncultured practices and illegal stances which if censored might never be possible in the first place.
In conclusion free speech is justifiable and I do believe that while people can sometimes be offensive with their ability to express, curtailing or totally shutting down free speech makes it impossible to keep a sort of equilibrium between the many parties on the web. Irrespective, censorship is evil and truncates human freedom and that's why it's important that tools like @3speak has been born to keep the lights of free speech burning
