It doesn't.
Conservatives argue that all people should be required to publish anything produced by a conservative, as anything else is censorship. Conservatives, and this conservative law, are unequivocally opposed to free speech. This has been their position for decades, this law is just a new variation: forcing people to host speech against their will, rather than the traditional conservative censorship.
Trump and similar "conservatives" got "censored" after repeatedly breaking the same rules against misinformation, false claims, etc. He could have avoided "censorship" by simply stopping those false and fraudulent claims, but he didn't and was subsequently dropped from multiple platforms - for the same reason anyone else would have been banned from those platforms.
The problem is that conservative politicians have aggressively pushed for suppressing content that they don't like, and now they're seeing people suppress content that they actually like, and they want that to be people suppressing that to be illegal as well.
I want to be very clear - to me there is a large difference between an actual conservative viewpoint and the "conservative" viewpoints that are getting legal protection. "conservative" seems to be false/misinformation rather than any position on social spending, taxes, etc
