I think one point that gets lost is that over the past 50 or so years, the left leaning, counter culture would lean on and shout "Freedom of SPEECH" when they were trying to make statements that were not mainstream/accepted by society. It just feels duplicitous/revengeful for them to now do the same after winning the culture wars and say "oh that's the way it is, censorship is the norm".
