The internet aspired to be a library, but even libraries are curated. I'm not saying people shouldn't be allowed to say whatever they want to say, but a private company has the right to refuse service to customers who intentionally won't or are unable to meet their terms of service. This has applied to all sorts of things in the past and still does, e.g. filesharing, pornography and music streaming sites.
