You seem to have an incomplete understanding.
Freedom of Speech goes hand in hand with Freedom of Association. You are free to speak and spread your ideas, you are not free to compel others to help you to do so and you are not entitled to an audience.
I don’t have to let you stand on my porch to speak anymore than Instagram has to allow you to post things or Costco has to allow you to hold lectures in the food court.

If you sell paper to anyone BUT me, or let anyone who pays a fee stand on your porch and talk for 10 minutes except me, yes that should count as a felony.
