Liberals are firmly on the record as hostile to free speech. Their demands for "hate speech" laws "misinformation laws" "peronal pronoun laws" and everything they find "offensive" or "insensitive or not part of their agenda.This is a lie – it’s both ignorant and wrong.
The First Amendment applies solely to government; the doctrine of free speech concerns solely the relationship between government and those governed – not between or among private entities or persons, such as social media.
Social media are at liberty to edit their content as they see fit; how they might edit their content has nothing to do with limiting free speech.
It’s also a lie that ‘the left’ is hostile to free speech; in fact, liberals have always championed free speech and free expression often in opposition to conservatives’ efforts to lawlessly preempt or limit both.
Last, American ‘Thinker’ is an unreliable source and rightwing fake news/misinformation site that contrives and propagates nothing but lies – the lie that ‘big tech’ or ‘the left’ seeks to silence free speech being one example.
