It's because the first amendment is a uniquely Western, White invention. Blasphemy laws and total rulers had been the norm since the Egyptians and Japanese declared that their leaders were gods and that the gods declared that some Indians lounge in palices while other Indians sweep up elephant poo.
It takes an immeasurable amount of love for others for the "ruling class" to become vulnerable. The disarmament of the English Kings with the Magna Carta is the single most radical idea that had ever happened since the Egyptians invented the idea of a peace treaty in 1200 BC and the idea of democracy.
White people created the strongest world power because of an inherent sense of trust and belief in the good of each other, and for hundreds of years that trust propelled White people forward even in the face of greed and division between the number one strongest nation vs the number two strongest nation vs the number three strongest nation and on and on.
And now all of a sudden, people with ZERO historical knowledge and ZERO investment in this massive system of trust walk in, looks around, and says "Yeah having all of this power is great. But back in my area we have really strict class division and street warfare. Imagine how great this place could be with all of this power and the mentality of my old place." Incompatable ideas, akin to fire and water. But they don't care if the system topples just as much as a three year old doesn't care about slapping over someone else's block tower.
This guy is a tool, and the first amendment has nothing to do with it. If these people had Western values, they would embrace free speech, but nothing in the US Constitution requires it. Rather, as a publisher, they should publish what they want and be held responsible for it. The bullshit is the immunity they get.
Think about the type of ideological inversion necessary to consider the first amendment as "binding you".
