See Twitter to see what "free speech absolutism" gets you. The hateful stuff will quickly overrun and take over the platform, chasing decent people away.
Twitter isn't even remotely pro-free-speech; much like Reddit, they claim to be in order to defend the worst people on the platform, while routinely deleting or banning people for speech they disagree with
That's correct. But it starts by allowing hate speech. Can you give an example of a single platform that allows it that didn't become a toxic shithole?
