Looking for an explanation about how these people weren’t just engaging in freedom of speech?

  A government official who created and implemented government censorship regulation is a little bit more than "just engaging in speech". That's like saying Deng Xiaoping was "just directing traffic" when the tanks rolled in to Tiananmen.

    I presume you’re referring to something specific there. What is it?

    They weren't implementing "government censorship regulation". They were trying to ensure the different views on speech in their own countries are respected and conformed to. This is a clear example of global operators running up against the natural friction of conflicting national customs and laws. It's a particularly knotty issue in the intuitively borderless and passionate medium of internet speech and won't be helped by regulators or commenters here ignoring that.
