Private entities don't have their own laws. They can't summon police to take you away or hand out fines you didn't contract to. Governments can.

If a government has the power to make private entities host user content they don't want then they have overall regulatory power and can go in the opposite direction as well. That's why government has no business regulating private entities for "freedom of speech". Unless you want the government to be your speech.
