Free speech doesn't mean free of consequences of your speech.

You can say whatever you want but if it offends your employer, don't be surprised if they fire you.

Not really, I wrote fired, not jailed.

Free speech doesn't mean that the others have to listen to you and agree with you, it means that you can say it and not have your freedom of movement restricted because of it. The exact opposite of what many dictators do.

There are no country on earth with "full" free speech because there are always limitations especially regarding threats to the safety of others.
