freedom of speech is nonexistence
Freedom of speech only guarantees that you can express how much you hate the government without penalty.
It does not guarantee that someone else won't sue you over what you said, and successfully shut you down in court by getting it treated as a crime.
Most people today do not realize how little freedom of speech actually gives us, in an era where if you say the wrong thing to the wrong person they'll sue you for triggering them.

In May 2008, the Prime Minister of Malaysia Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi put forward a headline "Media should practice voluntary self-censorship",[25] saying there is no such thing as unlimited freedom and the media should not be abashed of "voluntary self-censorship" to respect cultural norms, different societies hold different values and while it might be acceptable in secular countries to depict a caricature of Muhammad, it was clearly not the case here. "It is not a moral or media sin to respect prophets". He said the Government also wanted the media not to undermine racial and religious harmony to the extent that it could threaten national security and public order. "I do not see these laws as curbs on freedom. Rather, they are essential for a healthy society."[26]
there was also a blog/site that criticizes this sinkhole for a while but then it got blocked by the government and forced to shutdown
