It's really depressing how the popular discourse around these topics so consistently fails to address any kind of bad-faith reasoning on topics like this.

Politicians complaining about free speech almost uniformly are referring to speech they don't like. Just like when they say they want to be "moral" its their morals, and when they say they want safety it's safety for a certain kind of person.

But the media (institutional AND social) ends to just accepting their stated motivations at face value. And at this point it's making us all look like idiots.
