The definition of markets is extremely simple/vague [1]. Sure we have added laws on top to make more people more comfortable participating, but where exactly is the fundamental requirement for laws to allow people to exchange goods?
With regards to speech, you simply just can't have free speech if there are limits. You aren't free to say whatever you want, and there's nothing wrong with that view. I totally understand why hate speech makes people uncomfortable and why some (a majority?) think it should be banned. Those people have just come across a reason why they don't actually agree that free speech is a fundamental right, instead preferring some speech to be restricted if a majority of people disagree with it.
The argument that you can have free speech with limitations is incoherent and goes against the entire concept. Finding a different term for some middle ground of partially regulated speech is totally reasonable, but claiming that its free is a misuse of the words.
