It's one thing when it's removed for violating TOS or when masses report it. It's entirely another when a government in power uses their clout to demand that journalists and advocates are silenced. That is the very definition of attacking free speech.

I’m not going to live in your unscientific epistemology about nation states being worse than corporations; both enabled by humans. It’s all just humans. I don’t have to important other flimsy humans who aren’t of godly abilities. Tailoring my speech to keep my neighbors happy, seeing the nuance their way, is a direct attack on my speech.

There is an honest distinction you’re missing with your reductive view of States and corporations: States have the power to detain, arrest, try, judge, imprison and kill you.
