Hmm, I would have expected more outrage from the US "free speech absolutists" over this US government decision ;)

Did you really though? I never understood the "free speech absolutists" to care about speech they disagreed with. They made it clear that they only accept "patriotic" speech a long time ago.

Did you catch the part where A/I Collective is operated by foreign parties outside the US?

Funny, the same US "free speech absolutists" get upset about "censorship" outside the US (mostly in EU countries) all the time, so it would be completely on point.

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. You seem to be saying the "free speech absolutists" getting upset about censorship in the EU is a bad thing. While, at the same time, saying them not getting upset about this is a bad thing.

In criticizing their inconsistencies, you are highlighting and simultaneously missing your own inconsistencies.

This is not how accusations of hypocrisy work. I don't have to agree with any particular stance of yours in order to accuse you of hypocrisy.

If you believe in civil liberties as rights and ideals, your belief shouldn't stop at borders.

The US free speech advocates had plenty to day about Julian Assange, an Australian stuck in the Ecuadorean embassy all the way across the Atlantic.

So free speech absolutists don't care about free speech, just free speech for americans on american soil? Not very absolutist then...
