It is abstract, and the argument is semantic. Freedom of speech is an concept, turning the cheek is a concept. Most people agree neither should be applied absolutely, but they both can be applied or ignored in any space, private or public.
There are laws that try to codify the concepts. The 1st amendment is one of such laws, but it only applies to the US government. It doesn't mean that the concept it is based on is held to the same restrictions.

"Private space" is also a concept. There's such a thing as being too abstract. Is getting kicked out of a Wendy's for ranting a violation of "free speech" or not? If not, why is Twitter any different?
