Those platforms have not, however, been billing themselves as champions of unfettered free speech before handing out arbitrary unexplained bans when their feelings got hurt or they disliked the speech.

Companies market themselves in ways that disagree with how the companies operate all the time. Marketing is frequently misaligned with what the company or product actually is.

No, you're putting words in my mouth. My point here was simply that we should take any marketing as an accurate view of reality.

Pick a company and you will almost certainly find contradictions in how they publicly represent themselves.
