Because that thing you call "free speech absolutism" isn't about free speech. It comes from: - people not understanding their own constitution - people in privileged positions not understanding why we can't tolerate hate speech, harassment and similar - a ton of modern fascists complaining that their posts where removed by moderation, or their accounts have been suspended, when spreading hate speech and misinformation. Some of this people are rather influential in conservative circles and/or wealthy.
