YES. This. I have tried to remind people that the amendment is only about that. Corporations and anyone can do anything they want to (and risk the blowback)

  That's fine, but when most of civil society moves over to closed corporate eletronic platforms, you have to ask whether those platforms should have analogous rules, and if not, why not.

    That's a personal choice. If you don't like the restrictions of the most popular platforms, you can choose a different one. Freedom of speech can never be taken away by corporations. Open source software gives you the power to create your own platforms if none of the commercial ones meet your requirements.

    These 'closed' entities like facebook...you realize their only power is the people... if people get fed up they can just leave... All the Nazi's are free to go leave start their own networks, and leave the rest of us in peace. Freedom of speech also doesn't mean we need to hear you rant on and on about 'white culture'. So if the majority of us complain, and FB/Google/Apple listen to the majority (i.e. democractically decide) that you're out -- then goodbye you've lost in the marketplace of ideas. I'm white, a mutt from Irish, German, and English stock, but white culture doesn't mean shit to me...now Irish, German, English culture--that actually means something. I'm sure there's probably some hispanic/indian could even be some african american.. I think a lot of racists would be surprised if they ever would ante up for a DNA test.
