You say “free speech” mockingly in quotes as if it’s not the one right that literally all your other rights depend on.

  It's not, though. In fact free speech is in direct contradiction to other rights, and these have to be balanced against each other for society to function. Take the right to privacy, for example. My right to privacy necessarily entails restricting your right to disseminate information about me. Or the rights to life and bodily autonomy - the prohibition on inciting violence is a restriction of free speech.

    Who advocated for those rights and why were they allowed to?
