Free speech is two things: 1) the legal protection which you already defined and 2) a guiding principle of democracy.
Cutting anonymous speech out would be just as dangerous. Same for demanding Twitter regulate "lies". If Twitter was around in the early 00s then they'd be deleting popular and dangerous conspiracy theories such as "there are no WMDs in Iraq".
