Who favors freedom of speech more liberals or conservative?

Answer 1

Liberal means "like a free person," and so liberals favor more freedom for more people. Conservative means "keeping it the way it is," and so conservatives do not favor more freedom for more people.

At first blush, the above may seem correct however, when "change" reflects greater intrusion by the government instituting greater institutional control over the lives of citizens then it becomes more obvious that "liberal" does not always advance to cause of freedom. Conservatives favor smaller, less intrusive government leaving more freedom of choice to the individual so, based upon this ideology, reverting back to less government control translates into more freedom for the general populous.
