Even if I interpret it in a polical way, I would still take "more liberal" to mean "supports greater freedom of speech"; that's consistent with what you call classical liberalism. I hadn't heard of this "modern liberalism" until now, which seems to be an American term. But looking at the Wikipedia article [1] it doesn't seem to involve much discussion either way about freedom of speech, except to do with donations by corporations (it seems a stretch to connect that with willingness to legislate about libel). If anything, the other parts of that article still have a strong enough similarity to classical liberal principles that I would expect an American "modern" liberal to still be in favour of free speech.
