You're absolutely allowed to say what you want, that freedom hasn't changed at all. What has changed is you'll risk offending a lot more people today than you were years ago.
We can argue the good and bad of that and if society has become too sensitive. But that's a different issue entirely from the assertion that we've somehow have lost our freedom of speech, which we have not.
Unless we're talking hate speech. Yes, we aren't allowed to use some words that society found okay in the past, and doing so can result in being jailed in the more extreme cases. But I would call that common sense, as well as consciousness progress and evolution.
