He cares about free speech when it's convenient for his purposes, he has no qualms in shutting down speech when it goes against him.

Even against governments, he publicly decried the Brazilian government while having no issues with abiding by India's censorship requests, nor Saudi Arabia's.

If you really believe in that "free speech defender" shtick I'd recommend looking into it with more critical eyes, you're falling for his bullshit. The same way Apple fanatics would fall for the bullshit aura of Steve Jobs...
