That's not how the First Amendment works. You have the right to free speech in the sense that the government is not allowed to stop your free speech (except in certain well-defined "clear and present danger" circumstances). But you do NOT have the right for someone else to have the obligation to publish your comments.

Amren has the right to delete this comment that I am currently typing, because Amren owns this site; and Facebook and Twitter have the right to close accounts. Anyone who wants to post things that Facebook and Twitter don't want posted is cordially invited to publish them on a platform that WILL post their comments... or create their own. If Amren deletes this post, I could always describe the experience on my blog, or write a letter about it to the New York Times, or post a story on a Facebook page, or print it out and photocopy it and send it to 100,000 homes at my own expense. But I don't have the right, and nor do you, to the presumption that some other person or organization will have the obligation to finance my voice even if I represent a threat to their profits, values, or anything else.

This is what freedom is.
