I think you're confusing technocratic liberal weirdos with "the far left." Look up the World Socialist Web Site's long-running feud with Google, or read any Jacobin article about free speech/tech. There are very few genuine progressives who endorse policing "misinformation."

Most leftists, progressives & liberals are socially non-separable - both knee deep in CRT, censorship, twisting facts and outright lying the same way conservatives do. ML's are probably the only ones who have any ideas of their own and support certain levels of freedoms at least.

  After you been given references to outlets that are indisputably both on the far-left and prominent who hold the opposite opinion, you assert as a response that all far-left groups are inseparable and hold the opinion that both the WSWS (the oldschool Fourth International socialists) and Jacobin (the newschool Bernie-boosting 2016 socialists) publicly disagree with. That's a complete aversion to evidence.

  In the USA, liberals are those that support the Bill of Rights. The Democratic Party is made up of Liberals, and those that call themselves Progressives. I'm a Liberal, the Progressives scare me, as they are for complete Government bureaucratic control of everything. Biden won as a moderate, not a Progressive, but if he picks up that torch, I don't know what happens.

technocratic liberal, as in Communists? The word for them are Communists. Liberals are a dying breed.

  I encourage you to engage with the outlets I mentioned. Regardless of the terms you choose to use, I hope you can appreciate how actual left wing organizations are at odds with the censorship measures called for by the New York Times, Silicon Valley, DC think tanks, etc. You can't fight an enemy if you can't even name it properly.
