Actually internet sites are private property, which the freedom of the press doesn't apply to anyway. For example, you do not have the right to say what you want in my house and I have the right to throw you out if you say things I don't agree with.

The government also has some rights to abridge free speech as it is; for example, if I get together my five buddies and have regular meetings where we discuss blowing up the local bridge or killing ethnic minorities, the government can act to stop me from doing that. There's also things like anti-treason laws, though they're very seldom enforced anymore.
