You live in a society so there are always going to be cultural limits on the views you can express without social repercussions. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence nor does it trump other people’s freedoms not to associate with you or exercise their freedom of speech to castigate you.

My point is you can't have a neutral platform when there is a split between large groups on what is the current cultural limit. Each platform has to pick a side in that case.

I mean you absolutely can, whether anyone would want to be on it is another question. That most/many platforms do moderate content doesn't mean that they must moderate content to fit into their cultural frame of reference.
