I've always thought it's the control of the audience that is more important. Easy to grant "freedom of speech" when they can limit and control who gets to hear it. The old "if a tree falls in a forest" adage.

It is also easy to ignore it when it is convenient for you (their Cold War actions violated freedom of speech so many times it became ridiculous) and when you are in a position of power.
