    Ironically, it does apply to corporations - just not in the way that you think.

    Corporations have the right to freedom of speech - meaning they can choose to allow whatever the speech they like. Consequently, they can also choose to disallow whatever speech they don’t like.

        Meta/Twitter/whoever are also protected by the 1st Amendment when it comes to deciding what they allow on their platform.

        A law or ruling that forces social media companies to carry specific speech is unconstitutional.
