It has everything to do with the freedom of speech, it's the opposite of it, it's called self-censorship.

You’re proposing that my having the freedom to not be forced to spread another persons message is actually me being censored?

That seems like a pretty convoluted way to say “I want to force this company to continue hosting this site despite their objections”.

So freedom of speech gives you the right to write a racist letter to any and every newspaper and demand that it is published.

Ok. Good luck with that.
