So, what the human has learned in our system of protecting self interest above all - is that you do not have to take responsibility or accountability for your words and that you can pretty much get away with anything that isn't downright violent. The problem with this is that we do not realize how the words we speak shape the world/reality we live in - and that, if we do not speak and express ourselves from a starting point of 'principle' (>considering another being as oneself) and integrity -- we are basically unconsciously shaping, creating and allowing a system/world of lies, deceit and abuse.
The solution here is not to go back to censorship and control - but to ensure that the human beings that we bring into this world, are educated properly to take responsibility for the consequences of their words and action and stand as inherently respectful beings --- only then does such a thing as 'freedom of speech' make sense. This thus means that we'd have to change our economic principles from the 'protection of self-interest' to 'the protection of all life equally' and create a system that is based on the principle of considering another as oneself.
