Where do you have free speech? Where will you have said free speech that someone else can actually hear?
The problem is that the internet looks like a public commons, but it is not. It is private. The illusion of the public commons on the internet it at odds with the notion of free speech. It it this seeming disconnect that causes people to realize there's a problem.
In fact as privatization increases, you will realize the space where you may exercise your supposed right to free speech will eventually become non existent. You have no rights when everything is private and governed by contracts that supersede "rights" as a condition of functioning in society. Further, you may eventually learn you can't exercise any rights if everything were private.
