I don't understand why these people complain about "freedom of speech". Freedom of speech doesn't apply to private services.

Not a fan of that argument. Twitter/Threads/Facebook/Reddit/etc are big enough to be considered a public forum, even if they're being controlled by a private entity rather than a government.

Big or small, but they have rules and ToS and can limit what you're saying. And it's ok.
