another fact, you know which population uses word "共匪"? people in Taiwan, this is actually very old word dated way back from early 1900s when Kuomintang was still controlling China; they call communist party "共匪", and keep using that term after they got defeated in China civil war, and fled to Taiwan island.

I'm not sure I understand your point. It makes sense that people in Taiwan would use political rhetoric that aligns with their perspective.

The issue is whether societies without political censorship should support their businesses adopting it. Who uses any specific rhetoric (that should be categorically protected) is not salient to the debate.
