This comes up in every such discussion. The legalities of free speech apply only to government restriction, true. But the concept and ideals of free speech are something that a private platform can support and promote, or suppress and bury.
We need a concept to distinguish these for speech, like for software. Something like "Free as in legal" vs "Free as in voice".
