    Wasn’t that the intent? Free speech absolutism includes foreign propaganda too as far as I understand.

      “Free Speech Absolutism” is a dog whistle for “We want to platform Nazis and deplatform anyone who says Nazis are bad”

      So not only does it include foreign propaganda by a fascist regime, it’s mainly foreign propaganda by a fascist regime

        None of these free speech absolutists are. Other than maybe the ACLU. But the typical “freeze peach” type is never truly about complete free speech for all. It’s always “free speech for me and mine; everyone else can shove it.”
