The problem with this formulation is that all other laws, all other rights, only exist as a result of the first a-priori assumption: that you are allowed to engage in discussion of any idea. Without that, people self censor and can’t feel free to think.
That isn’t to say that there are no regulations on content. Plenty of media has standards and regulations about how it produces content, rating systems for media, and a system of classifying content that is acceptable for different degrees. For instance, I could see better regulation around a rating system for YouTube content to prevent children from stumbling upon poor content. This is still different than banning speech.
