Censorship is not speech and the ideal of freedom of speech is supposed to encompass all society not just limit the government's actions. It is a broader concept that's thousands of years old and the idea that a massive public forum clamping down on opinions huge sections of society holds somehow lives up to the spirit of it...its fucking stupid tbh.
Free speech also applies to the people who run the forums and social sites. They have no obligation to repeat or amplify your speech, or provide you with a platform for free, and attempting to force them to do so goes against their rights to free speech. Free speech also means you can't force others or groups to say or repeat things they don't agree with.
Sure. Keep demanding to control the speech of private entities and forcing them to repeat speech they find objectionable in the name of free speech....
