Your idea of freedom of speech is being able to express yourself without the government taking action against you. Actual freedom of speech is being able to express your opinions without government or society taking actions against you. If you say water is wet and an organisation takes measures to affect your livelihood, then you don't have freedom of speech.

So, if a Nazi promotes black genocide, and people make a counter-protest, that would be considered as a restriction fo freedom of speech to you, because they're taking actions against him? But then wouldn't it be restricting freedom of speech by not allowing people to freely speak against certains types of speech?

Nazis promoting black genocide is hate speech and it's not protected speech. No one is defending nazis. Your point is mute with using nazis as a example.  He's talking about, if someone said "Black LIves Matter doesn't care about actual black lives and here's why" and antifa or BLM tries to close his business down by interrupting with it's operation or slandering him. It's a way to censor dissenting opinions. It interfers with freedom of speech.
