If you so much as say something with a screwed up arrangement of letters, you will get reported left and right and then the algorithms of Blizzard’s crappy system will mute you for days. I have literally done nothing wrong, and I am being muted for 2 days. Because of that, I cannot talk to party members, guildmates, NOBODY. It becomes LITERALLY impossible to play the game at all when the only content you can look forward to is raiding, dungeons, and Mythic+ runs.
Freedom of speech doesnt exist on a private platform. Might wanna read more.

the only thing which can “mute you for days”, is a GM.
it sounds like you need to be more careful of what you say.
the support forum agents will be able to see what you’ve said… so if you intend to proclaim innocence, you’d want to make very sure that you’re in the right here… because they have no problem calling peoples bluff when someone claims “i didn’t do anything wrong”.

Blizzard caters to everyone equally. As such, we can all report anything we feel is inappropriate. Your idea of what is and isn’t appropriate isn’t the end-all be-all of social rules. You are but one person.
You are speaking to the public every time you speak in-game, unless it’s a private whisper. You’re not speaking only to your friends, or only to people that might get your banter. You’re speaking to everyone.
When you speak, imagine you are in front of your parents, your teachers, your boss, both the young and the old, those that accept crass language and those that do not. If whatever you are saying really wouldn’t fly in front of those people, then restrict that language to private chat.
Just, for an example, the language “sensitive little twerps.” That’s rude, it’s patronizing, and it’s not how you should speak to random strangers you don’t know. I personally wouldn’t report those words, but I don’t speak for everyone, and if indeed that’s how you speak to other humans, I am sure you have used more colorful language than that.
You can say, “people are too sensitive these days.” I say, “people were always as sensitive as they are now, but we’ve never in the past come together socially in the way we have been for the last fifteen years. Some folks have a hard time understanding others with values vastly different than their own.”
So, yes, a completely normal, average person may find what you say offensive or inappropriate.
I guess that verbiage needs to be explained to us in far more detail in primary school, revisited in middle school, and tested for retention in high school, because I see multitudes of people daily that don’t understand what those words mean.
The “freedom of speech” you hear about here in America applies to Congress making laws:
The idea that we have the right to do and say what we want, anywhere, at any time, is simply false. It doesn’t exist and likely never will.
Freedom of speech on private platforms is entirely up to the owner of the platform. This is Blizzard’s platform, so they regulate as they see fit. The catch-all “freedom of speech” doesn’t apply in any way , shape or form. I mean, nevermind “foul” language; they could ban everyone who says “cat” if they wanted to. 
Every time one gets the urge to use “freedom of speech” in an argument, debate or discussion, they should pause a beat to see if they are arguing, debating, or discussing an act of Congress; if not, those three words mean diddly squat.

That’s certainly an idea, but you’d have to submit that as a suggestion in game, or on the General Discussion forum. Even then, there’s no guarantee that Blizzard will do that, and if they do, it will be on their timetable.

Can’t imagine why you’d get silenced.
Freedom of Speech does not apply here. Freedom of Speech is not freedom from consequences.

No algorithm involved here - this was from verified reports, Gherrik.
Your teammates seem to take exception to you cursing at them, and being told they are stupid. You may want to rethink that strategy going forward.
