Until the people who manipulate free speech for political and financial gain either poison it or ban it.

There is no such thing as free speech in an era of weaponised media. The principle has become a nonsense.

Free speech cannot exist when there are huge well-funded and technology sophisticated opinion forming machines influencing the public - because shouting down and discrediting “unpopular” (i.e. politically and economically undesirable) opinions is just censorship dressed up as free debate.
