Free speech was hit by the left a long time ago. It's just the rights turn now.
Tucker Carlson (Fox News, 2023) – Lost his primetime Fox slot after years of progressive criticism; Fox said it was a business/legal decision, but left-wing pressure contributed to advertiser boycotts.
Roseanne Barr (2018, still carried into 2020 debates) – Show canceled after tweets widely condemned as racist.
J.K. Rowling backlash (2020–present) – Boycotts and attempts to de-platform due to her views on gender and trans issues.
Dave Chappelle (Netflix specials, 2021–2023) – Repeated campaigns to cancel his shows for jokes about transgender people (though Netflix resisted).
Joe Rogan (Spotify, 2022) – Progressive pressure for de-platforming over COVID misinformation and resurfaced slurs; Spotify kept him but removed some episodes.
Gina Carano (The Mandalorian, 2021) – Fired by Disney/Lucasfilm after social media posts compared political divides to Nazi Germany and mocked gender pronouns.

Free speech is for populations who have a public internet with net neutrality.
You knew that! That's why you don't need the public to do public anything.
