A deontologist might argue that lying is always wrong, regardless of any potential "good" that might come from lying.
Hence, I hope that it becomes clear that many different kinds of liberals--including deontologist as well as consequentialist liberals--should favour extensive free speech since the argument will rest on premises that all liberals share.
As we have seen, deontologists do, and should, recognize the possibility of consequentialist overrides.
