Sure. Spammers are free to say what they want. However they are not entitled to being part of my twitter feed, my inbox or my network packets. Those are mine to filter as I see fit. That applies to everyone's speech.
Your claim that spam is speech is flawed. Free speech is a concept how to protect genuine ideas, not how to enable more advertising. When one talks about "speech" we do not literally refer to the spoken word, nor does "speech" mean any combination of words out there. The term "free speech" is a term for opinions and ideas, plain and simple.
