The book "For a new Liberty" by Murray Rothbard gave me a new perspective on free speech.
Rather than being a seperate right it is just an extension of the true fundamental right of property rights on which everything else can be built.

"In fact, there are no human rights that are separable from property rights. The human right of free speech is simply the property right to hire an assembly hall from the owners, or to own one oneself; the human right of a free press is the property right to buy materials and then print leaflets or books and to sell them to those who are willing to buy. There is no extra “right of free speech” or free press beyond the property rights we can enumerate in any given case. And furthermore, discovering and identifying the property rights involved will resolve any apparent conflicts of rights that may crop up."
