That's not universally true: some states (e.g., California) take a wider view of freedom of speech beyond what first amendment allows and protected freedom of speech in certain kind of privately-owned spaces (e.g., malls open to the public). Supreme Court has upheld this, in a case that happened a few miles from my home:
