Those amendments only apply to the government. A corporation may arbitrarily restrict your rights and you have no recourse other than to avoid the corporation.

Those amendments only apply to the government. A corporation may arbitrarily restrict your rights and you have no recourse other than to avoid the corporation. This is why social media is a trap. It looks at first glance like a highly evolved town square but it is not. It is a private space masquerading as a town square, but one where you may be silenced for the wrong words.
The same applies to the alexa device you chose to put in your living room. Your private life now belongs to Amazon. The 4th amendment does not apply. Your privacy is now the property of a corporation that may do what it pleases with the information from your previously private home life.
