Censor and banning opinions and ideas you don't like is anti free speech.

You were allowed to say it. I'm allowed to remove it. Welcome to the world. Don't like it? Leave.

But also: nobody in the world actually likes the idea of absolutist free speech. The founding fathers certainly didn't believe in such an idea.
