I understand and mostly agree with your concern about the censorship of messages these outlets disagree with. I must point out that while unethical, it is not a freedom of speech issue. The constitutional right to freedom of speech is in relationship to the government only. If Medium and other platforms were a government run then you would be correct. Thankfully, they are not. Pressure put on the censoring by platforms by you and I is the only way to change their mode of operation.
