lawful means must be taken to defend what is left of freedom of speech

...and some may argue, even unlawful means; including one of the founders of the USA:

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." - Thomas Jefferson

It's surprising how extremist that quote sounds today --- ask a random US citizen what they think of it, without revealing its author, and you'd probably receive some pretty disappointing answers.
