First Amendment in Peril?

This is pure hyperbole. Mobile phones have these things called browsers where users can visit websites. Is having an app convenient? Yes, definitely. But in this case the lack of an app does not threaten the First Amendment.

This is a dangerous argument. The government censors this or that site. But wait, you have a VPN? Then your rights are respected. Oh, the government forbids VPN. But wait, you have Tor? Then you rights are respected. Making one particular medium more difficult to access than other comparable medium is one kind of censorship and threatens the first amendment.

The first amendment does not allow the government to censor a site, so your post makes zero sense.
