You say it's a straw man, but for example literally two top-level comments down from yours (as of right now at least) is this [1]:

Where does that mention the 1st Amendment or a guarantee of the 1st Amendment when it doesn't relate to government? It doesn't. When people say "free speech" don't assume they are only talking about the 1st Amendment. Free speech is a civic ideal, not just a government one.
