> Personally, I think that “freedom of speech” on internet has gone too far and is often used as an excuse to abuse people. There are people that don’t do anything else but troll and insult and bully people online.

First: that is part of free speech. Or are you suggesting there should be repercussions for someone calling you a prick eye to eye?  
Second: You are hard falling for the bait. People insulting eachother would not be criminalized. Your right to speak up against the government would be.

Do you have any idea about the state of free speech in the west?

You are lagging 5-10 years behind the actual state of things in the west.  
The least of your problems should be some random corporations not wanting to thought control and censor (which is a funny little idea in and of itself). You will be literally persecuted on the basis of as little as opinion, if that opinion is about the wrong political party.

Its really high time to wake the fck up people cause this kind of attitude aint it.

Will it be better when instead of the people who want to get a “win” you will have the police knocking on your door to “check your thoughts” for a “non criminal incident” like in britain?

I get what you are saying, but this is really not it my brother.  
You are comparing inconveniences to prison time for opinions. This is not a serious position to hold.
