Step 1 - governments privatises /sells all public squares and large streets in your city
Step 2 - private companies that own them hire private security firms
Step 3 - if anyone protests, stands with a banner or says anything in convenient anywhere in the city, they get violently removed.
Step 4 - folks like you yourself defend it under the guide of 'but it's not a government!'
Vioala, no free speech to worry about!
You think this is far fetched? It's happening as we speak, thousands of public spaces across Uk were sold and you can;t protest there anymore.
