Freedom to Speak

With all the controversy that is going on at the moment it got me thinking about free speech.

If there are restrictions placed upon one's freedom to speak who decides what they are? And how do we know that is right?

If freedom to speech is a human right, things that some people will say are going to offend us. But just because it offends us, is it right to take away their right to express it?

Complicated...

And I'm not entirely sure what I think, persuasive arguments can swing me either way.
