Yes and so are the philosophies of the extents to which freedom of expression has limits. See John Stuart Mill, Joel Feinberg, Thomas Hobbes. Not even John Locke supported universal toleration, although in his case he wanted to silence atheists. Not enough? How about Herbert Marcuse:
Universal toleration becomes questionable when its rationale no longer prevails, when tolerance is
administered to manipulated and indoctrinated individuals who parrot, as their own, the opinion of
their masters, for whom heteronomy has become autonomy.
I believe in freedom of expression, I do not believe in or advocate, however, universal tolerance for expressions on private forums. You wish to make a statement, do so on your own. It is the right of the platform to be able to moderate such contents as posted if they desire, its their platform.
