Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler

This has nothing to do with corporations being people. This and citizens united have nothing to do with each other.

Businesses do not need to give you a platform just because. They reserve the right to do business, or not do business, with whomever they choose.

Don't conflate that with "being people."

I think op is highlighting the double-standard of conservative principles.

"We want to have free enterprise and no government intervention except when free enterprise decides to ban them for being assholes."

The conservatives aren't the ones flipping here though. They're complaining, not suing.

The flip is coming from people who opposed "private companies owe no one their services" when it was Masterpiece Cake Shop, but now love it.

Maybe. I think arguments without context and nuance are unhelpful.
