He couldn't possibly. It's just not how any business is run. No idea if he was lying from the start or really was just so starry-eyed at his new toy that he never thought it through. Content moderation is done to maximize the value of the platform. Yishan Wong rightly pointed out that spam is free speech, but we routinely delete it because users hate it. Cloudflare went through the same song and dance about free speech until customers threatened to leave until they severed ties with Daily Stormer. Customers leaving is free speech too. And things like threats, abuse, harassment, doxxing may be the free speech of the abusers, it has the effect of chilling the free speech of victims or potential victims.
There's simply no Libertarian ideal that can be achieved in one place. The Internet as a whole is an absolute haven of free speech. Twitter caters to a certain audience, Facebook to another. They're very broad, but not infinite. There are plenty of other places that cater to the audiences that they don't. And people can always find ways to share their ideas with no interference. The thing they aren't entitle too is reach.
