I mean, that was free speech advocates and centrist (read pro-right but pretend not to) position position for years.
Typical free speech advocate was considering criticism, fact checking and mockery of right to be attack on free speech for years now. Even in HN, you frequently seen the definition of free speech as "dont mind nazi speech and is actively helping nazi when they are in trouble". It never applied to nazi opposition.
This is downvoted, but "defending Hitler" was a test for free speech defender for years on HN. Never ever it was "defend a feminist or progressive". Those were supposed to be shut up.
Now the nazi are in government and free speech advocates are mostly silent. They focus on criticizing ... anyone except radical right wing.
