It might be a matter of perspective. Poland has seen both Communism and Nazi occupation in recent history and can tell when suppression of free speech starts being harmful, on either side of the spectrum. We here in the West tend to be a bit biased.

Poland also has elected officials instituting 'gay free zones', and arguing that whilst Poland is progressive enough to have legalised homosexuality in 1932, people waving rainbow flags and talking about homosexuality are as dangerous as Nazis and Communists. Poland is not free from bias.
