Seems unlikely to be about this article. But his second tweet there does clarify that there is a difference between the First Amendment of the US constitution and free speech as concept; which is exactly the same point I made. He falls down a bit by making it sound like freedom from government suppression is the most important thing which is a departure from the concept of free speech which is about anyone who would control the speech of others and certainly a departure from Mill's conception of free speech which also emphasised the importance of non-government censorship. In the modern world, censorship by non-government forces is perhaps more troubling right now than censorship by the government. Certainly in the Western world.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
