Laws and regulations against censorship technically only apply to government agencies.
The great twitter blocking debacle for instance actually came down to the interpretation of blocking as telling someone to “shut up.”
Ordinary people, and non government bodies may tell anyone they want to shut up. These entities may even sanction or remove communications in so far as these relate to their platform or properties (as long as not destroying evidence of a crime.)
Governing bodies however may not, excepting those circumstances which constitute harassment or other disorderly conduct.
To elaborate a bit more on your comment regarding “hackers”, while these may well be hypocritical, one must be wary of stereotyping. Are these same persons advocating free speech the exact same ones interfering?
Not everyone has to listen, though no one has the right to harass others.
