Free speech has been out for as long as humanity has existed, and every attempt at limiting it has ended badly.
The internet has been out for less time than some people have been alive. Are we sure we, as a species, know how to be an adult on the internet yet?

Not really. Free speech is a cultural construct. It doesn’t exist without a huge swath of pre-agreed norms regarding rights, speech, freedom, … I’ll have you know, there are modern philosophers who argue against human rights. They would say human rights language pretends to be objective and universal, but it floats without a metaphysical anchor (unlike in the past) and in practice they only exist if a sovereign power recognizes them.
