I disagree with the nongovernmental form of freedom of speech being a core tenant of western society, yes. Its pretty much only on reddit that I encounter people who say that private groups have some moral duty to uphold the ideal of free speech.

Dude, come on, seriously? It's right there in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

Having a right to platform to express your ideas has been the shit since rationalism has been the shit. No sane society has contested that since the nineteenth century.
