>Given that the far left (like Jacobin) have been rallying _against_ free speech and mocking it online with “freeze peach” memes, I am terrified at the possibility of them eventually ceasing control of speech platforms. Two points on this thought: there are a variety of viewpoints on the value of freedom of speech within "the left" - needless to say, opinions range from libertarian to unlibertarian. You shouldn't get your views of leftist philosophy from Internet memes. The second point is that you should consider reading the arguments on freedom of speech, those for and against it. Most people only seem to know of the arguments for it. On that point I'd recommend checking out Susan Brison's work for starters.
