You don't have free speech on a platform like YouTube. It is Google's walled garden, with Google's set of rules. Free speech and censorship is for and by the government, and it was never absolute to begin with; always been a nuance.

Free speech as an ideal is older than the US government. It means limiting negative consequences for people speaking their minds.
Also, when FAANG eats the world, Google/Facebook's moderation team becomes a de facto arm of the local government.
