The flip side to that is that very few people, if any, on the left are actually calling for meaningful protections for free speech. They see nothing wrong when someone is put in jail for "causing gross offense" on Twitter, as happens often enough in the UK. As for the rest of Europe, just look at the knee-jerk hysterical, pearl-clutching response to Vice President JD Vance's recent speech about the EU and its values, and how much of that response was coming from the left.
