"Party of free speech," my ass.
Neither of the two parties is very much in favor of free speech. The left has cancel culture and policing pronouns while the right has blocking books with gay characters and age verification laws.
“Cancel culture” is not government policy (and never was).
Except it was. It was the government who ordered Twitter to ban or shadowban people like Prof. Jay Bhattacharya.
The government had no capacity to “order” Twitter to do this, in stark contrast to this law.
