Corporations blocking content is not a first amendment violation. They're not the government. You can argue corporations are blocking content and have an agenda but it's not a first amendment issue. Forcing corporations to host content would be though.

We can build a society where free speech isn't technically dead because you won't go to prison for saying stuff, but it sort of is dead because your speech is auto-censored by algorithms to make sure you adhere to approved speech. Is this a healthy society?
