Nate Silver is maybe not aware about the left's view on this. The left recognizes the Paradox of Tolerance.

I would argue this survey shows evidence of the opposite, that there is more support for free speech on the left.
It's fairly clear that the right is not genuine about free speech because in reality it's the right that is actually banning books and access to information in the US right now, not the left.
Basic principle of the Paradox of Tolerance is simple. If you let bigots talk, you will get more bigotry and in the end a less free society.
The iron of the right talking against 'cancel culture' is that the decisions to actually not let people speak, or get people to lose their jobs are done by right-leaning people. Those that run the large institutions that are doing cancelling, like corporations, are run largely by right leaning, business minded, people.
They wanted extreme private property rights, well that's how you get 'cancel culture'. Truly ironic that when businesses respond to markets (again run by right-minded folks), it's the right that is complaining today.
