I think that you are not allowed to speak freely on most platforms. And when i say speak freely i dont mean to have right to offend people, just to have right to normaly tell your opinion.

Freedom of speech is a protection from persecution from the government, not an obligation for all other parties to be exposed to your speech.

Websites are private spaces, and like most private spaces, have their own rules to abide by. It's their right to make those rules whatever they want, and people can choose the rules that make a more pleasant space to occupy.

If you want the freedom to be hateful and hostile to people, feel free to hang out on 4chan. Forums are typically more tightly controlled, especially specific topic forums, with discussion tightly controlled to keep things on the subject so the site stays useful and not buried in irrelevant content.

Second sites are not honest about freedom on them. If you say that everyone are free to comment whatever they want, as long as its not directly offencive and than delete all comments that are just reviling the truth without offending anyone, than you are straight up lying people. If you honestly sad that you will do that kind of things, people would search for another platform. So you are directly scaming people.
