Rightly so. While the state has a right to prohibit individual actions that cause harm, such as hate speech or incitements to violence, it would be a massive human rights violation to ban access to platforms generally, as it would silence a space where constructive dissent is organized.
Liberal free speech logic, then you just need to tighten up or loosen up some screws and find the most convenient definition of "cause harm".
I'd say anything communism related qualifies as "cause harm"
This is not a liberal thing.
