About
Free speech elitism is a socio-political stance which claims to support universal free speech but in fact selectively defends speech by the powerful while denigrating and suppressing dissenting opinion. Its proponents frequently engage in free speech trolling. When successfully countered on rational grounds, they will generally resort to rhetorical deception in an attempt to defend their undefendable claims.
Organizations
There are many right-wing organizations which take this stance, but so far the only one we're aware of that is primarily devoted to it is the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
