But I say that:
Nobody, never and nowhere has the right to forbid anybody to speak without good reason.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) of United Nations, Article 19:
"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."

United States Constitution, First Amendment:
"The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition.  It forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual’s religious practices.  It guarantees freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely.  It also guarantees the right of citizens to assemble peaceably and to petition their government."

European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), Article 9 – Freedom of thought, conscience and religion:
" 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief, in worship, teaching, practice and observance.
2. Freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs shall be subject only to such limitations as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of public safety, for the protection of public order, health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others."

Violation of freedom of speech is one of the hallmarks of a totalitarian regime, such as Nazism for example.

some people should be deprived of the right speech, writing, because they do not have borders

Fucking love posting the first amendment of the US constitution and other such articles from around the world. The right to free speech is a protection from the government, not from private entities. This is why you will get fired if you tell your boss to fuck off. You are free from prosecution by the government, but not from consequences by private entities such as businesses, websites, individuals, etc.

This is locked.

More importantly, you have no right to use this website, the Assist program or the files that we distribute. No right at all. You didn't enter into a contract, you didn't buy it, it's not in your country's constitution, nothing. We let you use it out of the kindness of our hearts and if you want to be a dick while using our software, we're not going to be so generous.

You absolutely have the right to freedom of speech. You're welcome to go host a website like www.ihatethoseassistadmins.com and bash Assist on there. Guess what, if you open a comments section and we post on there "you're a dipshit", you have every right to ban us. You own that website, you own that software, you paid for the hosting. You're misunderstanding the freedoms that are afforded to you by those that fought for your country and it's citizens. That's scary because you don't know how to use them.
