Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want on someone else’s server. The project was hosted on GitHub, so GitHub can take significant action to protect the community. He can host his project elsewhere if he doesn’t agree with GitHub’s actions

Of course, no one is saying GitHub wasn't allowed to do what they did. What people are saying is GitHub shouldn't have done that.

What about somebody else's internet connection? If we apply the same logic to ISPs then the future of the internet would look quite bleak.

If we applied your logic everywhere, moderation wouldn't be allowed. That also seems pretty bleak.

I think ISPs should be a utility, but I don’t think git websites should

Whether you agree or disagree with it, ISPs have the right to fire you as a customer. However, I don't usually see that exercising that right unless it's for piracy.
