Let's see here.

Masterpiece Cake shop was willing to bake and sell a cake, just not decorate it to celebrate gay marriage.
The cake shop cannot be compelled to generate speech they did not wish to speak.
Twitter, Facebook, Youtube etc generates no speech other than advertisements and clearly lists who has created the content they are hosting
There is nothing proprietary about a cake or a cake shop. If you can phone and drive to a particular cake shop, you can phone and drive to a different cake shop and still get a cake. (Which is exactly what those plaintiffs did in order to find a cake shop to refuse their demands.)
Big tech platforms have a near monopoly in coverage, you cannot just join an alternative and expect to be heard with the same reach.

Have I missed anything?

They are also vastly different sized businesses, one is a private business and the other is a publicly traded international megacorporation, one claims to allow uncurated speech while the other reserves the right to make whatever kind of cake he pleases, one is a largely automated hands-off service while the other specifically had to hand craft your product, one serves a vital public function as a purveyor of information and the public square while the other is a bakery, and the violations alleged in each lawsuit are completely different circumstances.

You would be heard, if not for tech globalists deliberately muffling your voice.

The difference between what would ordinarily happen and someone intentionally interfering.

The point being that there are many, many cake shops.

Twitter is THE twitter. Google is so synonymous with Searches that it became a verb. The problem with tech is they have reached monopoly status.
