Or as pointed out in the article, probably not:
> Appeals court judges were not convinced. They pointed to a Supreme Court case[1] from last year in which plaintiffs unsuccessfully "tested a theory that resembled PragerU's approach, claiming that a private entity becomes a state actor through its 'operation' of the private property as 'a public forum for speech.'" The case involved public access channels on a cable TV system.
