I would claim actual free speech absolutists don't exist.

You're probably since those that preach about free speech are politically driven, hence biased to protect their stance. Rest of us have realized speech isn't free of consequence and the last third just doesn't give a fuck.

Defamation, fraud, hate speech, harassment, collusion, confidentiality, incitement...

No reasonable person actually thinks that free speech is an unlimited right. Plenty of kinds of speech are viewed as too harmful to be legal. The right is well understood to be about political speech only, and even then the edge cases can be hard to pin.

Anyone who claims to be an absolutist on free speech is insane or absolutely full of shit.

you forgot the most important one: being negative against musk/spez/freeSpeechAdmin123/insert any other free speech absolutist authority figure here
