The Left hates free speech: California edition

Free Beacon: "The Babylon Bee Sues To Block California Censorship Law."
Humor website The Babylon Bee is suing to block a California law it claims gives the state power to censor their content.

The satirical website is part of a coalition that petitioned a California federal court on Tuesday to block AB 587, a 2022 law that requires social media companies to periodically report certain content to the government, including "hate speech" and "disinformation." The plaintiffs claim the bill is a "vehicle" for California Democrats to crack down on speech they find distasteful.
Hat tip to Ace who accurately notes: 
The left is nothing but defunding the police and censoring speech.
Yup, after they declare it "distasteful" or "hurtful."

Circle Jerk:
A pejorative slang term for a feedback loop which occurs when an idea, belief or meme that is already customary within an online community or insular subculture is reiterated in a perpetual cycle, leading to echo chamber self-affirmation.

Missouri just voted to defund all public libraries in the state. Because a judge said that the right's list of banned books must legally be returned to library shelves.

The Left hates free speech? I hear there's a popular book that asks, "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye, and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"
