Free speech as in the first amendment is pretty universal.
Free speech as in Twitter bans and complaining about cancel culture is largely the far right.

People from all 3 political groups are scared of cancel culture. Painting this as far right serves only to label anybody that cares about such things as far right. You’re attempting to shut the conversation down. This is part of the problem and is literally misinformation that could cause violence against those labeled “far right” in the future.
