I also have some speech I disagree with that I would like silenced.

Is there a form somewhere?

Are you the government? No, you can't.

Are you a private individual or corporation? Yes, you can, that ability to moderate is protected free speech.

I would agree, but something to think about is Twitter and facebook govern the behaviour of the people around me more than my country's government, probably.

Twitter and Facebook are private companies and they're free to govern their platforms however they see fit provided they don't run afoul of discrimination laws.

Being a racist jackass is not a protected class of individual.
