Do you believe that sites who build platforms for others should allow free speech.

Then why create a platform you are going to profit from if you want that platform to be restricted, do site operators not owe it to users who crwte their revneue and keep their site alive to allow them to speck regardless wether they dislike what is being said?

Site owners owe nothing to users. Besides, restrictions do not only drive away users, they can also bring them in. There are plenty of people who seek echo chambers.

Userbase is also not the only thing driving revenue - the ones advertising are ultimately the ones paying, and oftentimes they don't want their image associated with certain things said on a platform (this is one of the reasons behind YouTube's ad policy change). Hence those providing the platform have to walk a balance between giving freedom to users, while restricting them enough to stay within the boundaries of what their actual, paying customers want.
