Nah, OP has a point - even if it's easy to misinterpret. Just as you mentioned government coercion about free association, speech means that "those people" are free to start their parallel society, their own journals, newspapers, forums and whatnot.
It means that speech as a right has to include the right for the capability of building, having, and operating a platform, not a right for a guaranteed audience.
