Free speech as a right is an ideal. In practice, any given government of a country that purports to grant its citizens freedom of speech will have types of speech that it wants to censor (despite its legality) and will use whatever means available to subvert that right. As such, speech is only free insofar as it can be protected. Online anonymity is one such protection.
