Let’s say you’re a “benevolent dictator” with complete power over legislative and judicial processes. What laws would exist involving speech(public square and private)? What would punishments look like (if any)?

I think I’d be pretty restrictive. Most of the arguments for free speech revolve around the idea that you need it to reform or overthrow a corrupt government, but we already have the ideal philosopher king (me) as the benevolent dictator, so we don’t need those pesky freedoms.
I did frame the question that way. So what type of restrictions?
