From the article:

“The lawsuit likely faces major hurdles. Federal courts have typically extended First Amendment protections widely, including to the most provocative and offensive speech. It’s among the legal issues where there is significant consensus among judges with otherwise contrasting interpretations of the Constitution.”

Extended is the key word here.

I don't object to "provocative and offensive speech" as long as the persons doing such don't choose the site for said speech where they think or know I might be.

I DO NOT have to listen to their "free speech."
