Of course it does, somebody whether it is a nation or a website or a piece of paper has to host your speech. Otherwise it will just be thoughts inside your brain.

No, it doesn't. You are not entitled to a platform. You are entitled to safety from the government when you say objectionable things (under most conditions).

A newspaper doesn't have to publish your op-ed. YouTube doesn't have to host your video. You can make a website for free to get your point across without going through Youtube, so they're not silencing you either. Not in a free speech sense.

Nonsense, you're entirely free to express the speech in your head however you deem fit.

You're just not entitled to forcing others to express your speech for you.
