Of course. That's why the people crying about the NY Post article said nothing when Twitter was threatening to suspend accounts for hoping Trump would die of COVID. It's why they're fine when conservative content gets algorithmically boosted but nut when it gets penalized.
I'm happy to have a discussion about what the boundaries of acceptable speech should be. But it always gets cast as a discussion about censorship and freedom of speech, when really the goal is to shift those boundaries to a place they find acceptable.
