Is any time any person (or company) can't say whatever they like with no consequences censorship to you?

Are you a free speech absolutist? Is it free speech to falsely yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre?

Free speech is a liberal value. Nazis don't get to hide behind it every time they're called out.

Helping prevent racism and Nazi propaganda at scale protects actual people.

Censoring tiananmen square or the January 6th insurrection just helps consolidate power for authoritarians to make people's lives worse.

That's not censorship, that's basic hygiene.
