“Right to Speech” does not equal “Right to Distribution”.
You are free to say what you want without going to jail, physical punishment, or fines (unless your speech is part of committing some other criminal behavior—such as fraud—or civil tort).
But nobody is obligated to provide you the means of distributing your speech.
Thats not to say that there aren’t asymmetric means of disseminating ideas or messages over third-party distribution channels. But you’ve got to be savvy enough to do that, or separately powerful enough to buy your own distribution.
Even owning distribution is pointless if you can’t communicate your ideas in a way that attracts listeners. “Right to Speak” doesn’t equal “Right to be heard”.
