"But freedom of speech"

If that speech causes harm like convincing a teenager walking into a grocery store and gunning people down is a good idea, you don't deserve to have that speech.

In Germany we have a very good rule for this(its not written down, but that's something you can usually count onto). Your freedom ends, where it violates the freedom of others. Examples for this: Everyone has the right to live a healthy life and everyone has the right to walk wherever you want. If I now take my right to walk wherever to want to cause a car accident with people getting hurt(and it was only my fault). My freedom violated the right that the person who has been hurt to life a healthy life. That's not freedom.

In Canada, they have an idea called "right to peace". It means that you can't stand outside of an abortion clinic and scream at people because your right to free speech doesn't exceed that person's right to peace.

I don't know if that's 100% how it works so someone can sort me out, but I kind of liked that idea

Very reasonable, close to the "Golden Rule" concept of being excellent to each other
