Well, based on that logic, fire safety rules no longer apply to private buildings! Only government buildings are required to install smoke detectors and keep fire escapes clear. How about that?
You don't get to claim something as a human right on the same level as access to food and water (and claim yourself as superior to countries that supposedly don't have it) and then give yourself exceptions that nullify it in almost every situation. There are no public government run platforms of speech in the US.
