Freedom of speech isn't something the law gives you. It is something you innately have.Don't confuse positive and negative rights[0]. Freedom of speech is something that can only be taken away. It is never something that can be given to you. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_and_positive_rights |

That is nonsense. "Freedoms" and "rights" are inherently social constructs. What does it even mean to say you "innately have" freedom of speech? That is a borderline religious claim, like saying you innately have a soul.
