The word 'free' is a good example of the short-comings of the English language :

A coin has two sides, you may say on one side is freedom and on the other is responsibility.

Ultimately there are two forms of freedom
Freedom to and freedom from
The one does not automatically connote the other
Freedom of the press is not freedom to write whatever you want, it carries an expectation that it will provide freedom from, lies, propaganda and bullshit.
Freedom of speech is not freedom to liable, slander and verbally assault, it is the freedom to protest, to educate and edify
Freedom of thought is the freedom to consider, to learn, and to improve. It is not the freedom to plot scheme and censor.

For example YOUR Freedom TO own a gun, ends at the point where it infringes on my child's right to freedom FROM being shot in his classroom or anywhere else

YOUR freedom TO hold the opinion that Jews are subhuman scum, ENDS when it infringes of a 13 year old Jewish child's right to Freedom FROM being rounded up and put in a concentration camp

Your right TO freedom speech ends when it meet my right to Freedom FROM telling 30573 obvious ad blatant LIES over 4 years as president

Your right TO claim to be a free press ends when it infringes on my right to be free FROM the vindictive mithering of Tucker "Fucker" Carlson

Did you mean Fucker Kkkarlson???
