The comic doesn't actually address freedom of speech, it addresses the First Amendment of the United States Constitution (and conflates it with free speech). The first is an amendment to a contract between the people of the United States and the government of the United States and the second is a philosophical principle. The concept of Free Speech did not start with the United States constitution and any reference to the First Amendment when referencing Free Speech kind of misses the point.
