Conservatives have been mass-flagging videos for nonsensical reasons and getting them removed by brute-forcing YouTube's report function for years.

I know Contra, Shaun, Sam Seder, David Pakman have all had videos mass flagged in the past. Videos that were highly critical of some conservative shit or another. Unless you want to make the argument it was leftists playing 4D chess, it seems quite likely it was conservatives.

What I would say is if you look at leading Conservative figures you will see that practically all of them support Free Speech and none have called for flagging campaigns whereas many figures on the left like Carlos Maza, for instance, have called for flagging campaigns against...

'Free Speech' is just a dog whistle for 'Conservatives can say whatever they want and not face even so much as criticism for it'. Why do you think they never speak up about it when leftists are silenced or censored? Maza never called for a flagging campaign.

Also I’ve always spoken up for the speech I disagree with. I want a debate on ideas. I can’t think of any recent mass campaign to silence the left. Maybe the NFL/flag but wasn’t really left/right

Are you high? The NFL flag thing was absolutely politically divided. Conservatives in droves wanted athletes who knelt fired for doing so. I saw shitloads of conservatives demand he be fired. You're being really dishonest to push this "the left is censor happy" narrative.

The left is far more censor happy than the right currently. It was the other way around about a decade ago. Google free speech on campus and tell me the right is the censorious side? The coverage of nfl/flag was politically divided, not the nfl’s support.

Who cares about the NFL's support? That's not the point. The point, was that conservatives supported punishing the athletes for expressing an opinion they didn't like. Conservatives only give a shit about free speech when it suits them. You're just reaffirming that fact.

No, they did not, Most Conservatives support Free Speech for everyone even those they disagree while the Left wants every opinion they disagree with to be banned, This is exactly why you will see that most Conservatives will oppose the Censorship that took place here.
