In America, the First Amendment guarantee of 'freedom of speech' only protects you from the government restricting your speech. It doesn't oblige any other entity to provide you with a platform, and it doesn't free you from the consequences of your speech. You can (and should!) host your own servers, but unless you buy ads on a search platform they are not obliged to prioritize, or even index, your content.
