This is touching on the whole obvious problem with no controls on speech: cancel culture is free speech since it's just me asking other people not to freely associate by freely speaking that I don't want to freely associate with them. Then you enter the whole "tolerance of intolerance" debate and so on.

This whole thing is a question of degrees. I think "common carrier" was a useful concept: loss of control traded for immunity.
