Academic "freedoms" granted by tenure at one institution do not extend to a second institution or to any other third party such as an academic journal. In the similar way, US "Freedom of Speech" is about an individual and the government and does not extend to protecting speech between third parties.
Tenured professors are not owed a voice on a third party publication to say anything they like. Just as individuals are not owed a voice on social media to say anything they like.
What professors are owed (any within narrow limits) is the ability to voice some opinions without fear that the institution will dismiss them. In the same way people in the US are free to say and voice opinions (within very wide limits) without fear that the government will jail them.
