Free speech is objective. Right speech is subjective. Therefore the two cannot be compared.
Voted : Free speech
Good thing I'm not a Buddhist; I'd have nothing to say. Ironically, if it wasn't for "free speech" no one would have come up with "right speeech."
Voted : Right speech
Unfortunately, using right speech can land you in anything from a stern dressing-down to a prison cell.
Voted : Free speech
Who is to say what is right speech and what is not?If I do not believe in God I could say that all religious speech is false because there is no proof that God exist,logically or other wise and therefore all religious speech including the Buddhist eight fold path is not "right speech" and it should not be expressed.I take freedom of speech over "right" speech anyday.

nobody has the right to decide right speech for others, and "right speech" is often only wrong speech used by a sycophant to please authorities or to 'fit in'. when you say only what is considered "right speech" you risk creating more harm in the long run and often do.

Free speech clearly. With speech the most heinous ideas and thoughts are still out in the open and able to be countered with more speech. When speech is stifled it doesn't end the ideas just pushes them underground and radicalizes them
