When one form of censorship is coming from private companies and the other form of censorship is coming from the government, I am definitely more concerned about the latter than the former.
The only modern examples of censorship coming from the right I can think of are the anti-CRT and "don't say gay" type bills. These laws are certainly problematic, but as tools of censorship, they're narrowly targeted at children, not adults. There's a pretty longstanding cultural consensus around censoring content targeted at children, for better or worse. We may not agree with the particular choices being made on the right here about content, but it doesn't seem to me like, per se, a free speech issue in the normal sense.
Maybe you are aware of some example that i'm not, though.

Children eventually become adults. How do we expect the adults of the future to deal with difficult topics like race if we prevent them from learning about them?

I linked to another example in a different comment.[1]
When an online platform is a de-facto monopoly, like Twitter or Facebook, I don't think it should be unilaterally censoring user content. I understand that content policy is a difficult problem, but I don't think "they are a private company they can do whatever they want" is the right answer.
