> In America,the first amendment protects you from government censorship. It doesn’t protect you from censorship that occurs naturally in society or the marketplace. Correct. But even in the marketplace there are limits for things like discrimination. > We have decided to outlaw libel, slander, perjury, dissemination of child porn or classified info Actually those are not constitutionally protected speech. This "censorship" does not come from social norms as you seem to imply, but by the government itself. > and we are familiar with many which cause immediate social or business repercussions The White House in a press conference said they were flagging posts to Facebook. This can make Facebook a government actor if they were forced, paid or coerced to do so (which they probably are) > (generally being an asshole, berating waitstaff, yelling at the top of your lungs in a quiet place, any kind of unwanted speech PN private property, etc.). You can't mute or block or unfollow someone in most normal social situations. This comparison is dubious at best.
