Those who are pro-censorship will usually be anti-censorship when it suits them. Their favored media sites are telling them they're going to get rid of what they're opposed to. When they tell them they're not allowed to voice their opinion or show their support for what they believe in, they'll say censorship is wrong or that exceptions need to be made for what they agree with.

This is what I've run into most often. Shutting down offending viewpoints is fine, even encouraged. Shutting down things they agree with? Not so much.
Preaching to the choir? go right ahead.
chastising their rivals? go right ahead.
Doing the reverse? when i was a child, adults were run out of town when that happened. Everyone talked about it when it happened, and saw to it it did not happen again. Turns out when you don't practice due diligence and confirm the fucker is dead, he survives and makes it to the next town and causes a problem. How things worked in my father's day changed when the guy being run out of town lived.
The progression of change was: they get to live, They can have their opinion if they keep quiet about it, they can speak about it in their own home, in the public square, now they drag you into court if you don't agree with their opinion. This is just over 60 years. Today, the amount of people needed to take to the torch to fix this shit makes it not practical. So these freaks just get to return the favor we gave them for the past thousand years or so.
This is just how humans behave.
So it's just loud mouth assholes trying to tell everyone else what to do?
Mainly. And some useful idiots who've been brainwashed to repeat what they think is an important message.
How do you reverse the damage?
Yep, can't be racist online? sure why not, but that does mean anything vs whites is now bannable. Wait, that's not what we meant reeeeeeeeeee.
Every time.
Just look at what's happening with the new Borat ... I don't want to call it a movie because SBC's work is nothing more than attention-whoring.
But anyway. Sacha Baron Cohen was in favor of censorship until he was forced to shut up.
