So 'real free speech' is about requiring private companies to carry the message of a politically powerful agent of the government?

  that's your definition, for me it is allowing anyone to speak their views without putting a "extreme left" sensor and calling it fake.

    Do you think that I should be able to compel you, personally, to say something?

      That's exactly what a leftist would say.

    view ≠ facts. "extreme left" ≠ untrue.

  s/politically powerful agent of the government/person/ , yes.

    That is nothing like how free speech generally works in the US. Compelled speech is the exact opposite of free speech.

  Yes, exactly. Right-wing extremists have defined that real free speech is when all parties are forced to provide a platform for all right-wing speech. To them, freedom is when racist white men can do anything they want without any consequences. When other people also have rights and choices, that to them is tyranny.
