A Right to Free Speech

Who has the right to free speech in the democracies of the world? Does a paid troll on the Internet have a right to repeat the position of government censors as their own?  Does it have the right to criticize others for their opinions?  Do they have a right to pretend to be someone they are not, and publish the same ideas for multiple pseudonyms using free speech as the justification?   They do not.  

Ten percent of the users of social media are bots.  We know because social media companies have to report them to the SEC.  I know that is hard to believe, but that is what research shows.  Bots have no idea what free speech is all about, nor what rights any of us have.  Neither do trolls paid for by China and Russia, yet social media companies treat them as if they have that right.
