Why is the internet so restrictive? Why is it impossible to find a place where you can express yourself fully?

The internet is restrictive because it’s other people’s stuff. You don’t have the right to use other people’s stuff for free. If you do use other people’s stuff, they have the right to tell you what you can and can’t do with it, and to tell you to stop using it if they want to.
