Does the Torah guarantee free speech?

There are certain categories of speech which are outright forbidden by the Torah (various forms of gossip, profanity, blasphemy, curse, etc.).

Theoretically speaking, could the Sanhedrin legislate further restrictions on speech, or does the Torah guarantee free speech to Jews?
