- But internet is a service provided by a private company that's not affiliated with the government. Free speech only applies to government actions.
  
  There is nothing in law to recognize the internet as a "public place". Freedom of speech literally only protects your speech from governmental censorship. Simply does not apply online, no matter how much you want it to.
- You are not entitled to a platform, especially one privately-run.
