Where is the freedom of speech claimed by the West?
Not on corporate platforms which is considered "private property", and the owner is at liberty to moderate and censor at will even if it is more strict than the laws of the land. You may find that discussion-format sites such as forums will curtail speech for arbitrary purposes such as topic relevance (justifiable) or nonconformity of opinions with other users (less justifiable). But other formats of websites do not do this.
So the lesson the West is learning from the past decade is not to rely on corporate platforms for self-expression.

The west is a lie. There is no freedom of speech on any platform not even your own. If your opinion 'offends' any one or any group you can and probably will be persecuted for it, banned deplatformed, depersoned and/or sued.
