I view freedom of speech as not an ideology, but rather as a privilege/luxury for places with favorable conditions and a lack of existential threats. The West liked to flaunt free market and free speech ideals back when they had a massive soft power advantage over the late USSR and emerging world, now that they are losing the economic/soft power game against China they are placing the shoe on the other foot and doing away with those ideals in favor of protectionist and nationalistic measures.
