Hopefully this can be a short one. Obviously many essays are being written right now. If we just address a few points, better expectations can be set for those using Hive (and maybe I won't have to repeat myself so much in the Hive discord lol)
The right to free speech isn't something enjoyed in every country or platform. In the USA, free speech rights protect individuals from the government taking measure to cease their speech. It's fairly broad, not all-encompassing, and better than most
Facebook, Twitter, and Hive are not governments, and the "right to free speech" mentioned above is not really a factor unless the government takes them over and starts removing speech
"Centralized" media services such as Facebook and Twitter have the inclination, ability, and duty to police the speech on their platforms
"Decentralized" services like Hive provide a platform on which speech cannot be removed. The various services and websites that utilize Hive are still free to do as they wish with their apps and websites. While speech will be preserved on the Hive blockchain, it may or may not appear on d.buzz, ecency.com, hive.blog, leofinance... etc
Hive assures speech will be public, available, and immutable (can't be changed, edited, or deleted)
That's it
That's the blog
